As Israel continues their journey to the Promised Land they are confronted by Amalek who has come to do battle with them. This is the first battle Israel faces as a people. Moses sends Joshua to gather an army from the men and do battle while Moses goes up the mountain. When Moses lifts up his anointed staff Israel prevails and when he puts his arms down Amalek prevails. When Moses is weary Aaron and Hur come alongside and life up his arms and Israel defeats the Amalekites. It reminds us that we all need people in our lives who come alongside and lift us up when we are weary in our journey through life.
