Ever felt like you are in a battle but you're just not winning? The Israelites knew that feeling. They were at battle with Amalek in Exodus 17, but were just not getting anywhere. Then when Moses lifted his hands they gained ground, but when his hands sank they lost ground again.
The plan was set, they had to keep Moses hands up one way or another, so Aaron and Hur came along side him and kept his hands held high, and you guessed it..... Israel won the battle! At times all we need to get through a tough battle is just someone to come along beside us to help us lift our spirits.
Keeping our hands held high though has a more powerful connection. It is in worship when we lift our hands to God that we declare his majesty, and our surrender to him through worship. That is why we are strengthened through worship. So if you don't have any friends available to come along side you, raise your arms in worship to God and let him send his strength and his angels to fight your battle!
