Coming Alongside
July 5, 2016
Aaron and Hur held [Mosess] hands upone on one side, one on the other.
Exodus 17:12
Her thirty classmates and their parents watched as MiAsya nervously walked to the podium to speak at her fifth grade graduation ceremony. When the principal adjusted the microphone to MiAsyas height, she turned her back to the microphone and the audience. The crowd whispered words of encouragement: Come on, honey, you can do it. But she didnt budge. Then a classmate walked to the front and stood by her side. With the principal on one side of MiAsya and her friend on the other, the three read her speech together. What a beautiful example of support!
Moses needed help and support in the middle of a battle with the Amalekites (Ex. 17:1016). As long as Moses held up his hands [with the staff of God in his hands], the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning (v. 11). When Aaron and Hur saw what was happening, they stood beside Moses, one on one side, one on the other, and supported his arms when he grew tired. With their support, victory came by sunset.
We all need the support of one another. As brothers and sisters in the family of God, we have so many opportunities to encourage one another on our shared journey of faith. And God is right here in our midst giving us His grace to do that.
Who could you help today? Or do you need support yourself? Who could you ask?

Hope can be ignited by a spark of encouragement.
Todays reading starts with what may seem to be two insignificant details: The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. The Amalekites were distant cousinsthe descendants of Abraham and Isaac through Esau (Gen. 25:23; 36:12, 16). And Rephidim was the place where the Israelites grumbled against Moses and regretted their decision to leave Egypt (Ex. 17:17). This circumstancebetween slavery and inheritanceforced the Israelites to face their doubts and questions. Is God with us? Can God deliver us? As the battle raged, it became apparent that they were victorious when Moses held high the staff of Godthe object representing Gods power and presence. God had not abandoned them and He was able to give them victory.

Our record tying temperatures have finally cooled to below 100 deg.
In fact they are forecasting a 90 degree high for next Sunday.
Whew, it has been a rough week or more. I am grateful for the cooler temps.
Wishing you a pleasant week with moderate weather.
Have a beautiful Tuesday.

Thank you for the lovely post. The saying about not focusing about what is lost, was very needed for me just now.
I was really missing my black horse Jack today. My neighbor’s horse broke her leg and died last week and it’s made me sad.
Now I will go out and take care of the horse and pony I do have, counting them as blessings.
Cheers

Happy Tuesday, TCP.
It is so sad to lose a ‘pet’. They are all like family.
So grateful that you are blessed with the other horse and pony.
Have a great Tuesday. Cheers!

Strengthening the Heart
July 6, 2016
Strengthening the Heart
It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace. Hebrews 13:9
The neighborhood fitness center where I have worked out for years closed down last month, and I had to join a new gym. The former place was a warm, friendly facility, patronized by those who liked to socialize while they worked out. We hardly ever broke a sweat. The new gym is a hard-core facility filled with serious men and women, earnestly invested in building better bodies. I watch these people strain and toil. Their bodies look strong, but I wonder if their hearts are being strengthened with grace.
The heart is a musclethe muscle that keeps the other muscles going. Its good to build and tone our other muscles, but the essential thing is doing whatever keeps the heart strong.
So it is with our spiritual heart. We strengthen and tone the heart through the Word of truth by receiving its message of Gods goodness and grace. Keeping our spiritual heart strong and fit must be our first priority, the one thing we do above all others.
Paul would agree: Train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come (1 Tim. 4:78 esv). David Roper
May I feed on Your goodness every day, Lord, so my heart will grow stronger through the Spirit.
Gods training is designed to grow us in faith.
