I love Leah's post this morning on the First 5 app. The Lord promises to fight for his. His sovereignty and divine presence is our lives is real, not a coincidence.
The part of this chapter that really spoke to me was verse 12.
12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
I just have to give God the praise and glory for those people in my life who have held me up. I think about all the prayers that have gone before. Prayers by loved ones who are no longer here. Prayers from friends who saw my life falling apart. Prayers for me to draw closer to God. Prayers for healing and restoration.
There are those people in my life that have held me up. They have been on their knees in prayer, holding my arms up to the heavens. They were with me, helping me win these battles even when I felt alone.
In those dark times I didn't even know they were there.
God is so amazing. He knows just what we need. He is so good to me. I keep playing the link from yesterday on loop as I write this. God's mercy and grace in my life leaves me in awe.
What are you facing today that we as a group can pray for?
Can you pray for these women here today who are facing trials? Those feeling helpless and alone? Those who need restoration? Those who need a miracle?
We have to hold one another up. When our arms are tired and we don't have anything left in us to give to God, we must life one another up.
My focus for the year - Be the Light. What better way to be the light? I will be praying for you today.
Lord thank you for all of the prayers and petitions that have been sent up in my name. Thank you for every person who has spoken my name in prayer and thanksgiving to you. Lord. convict me to strengthen my prayer life even greater than it is today. Lord show me those whose arms are tired. Lord let me see the need and know what your will is for me in helping/praying for them. God, you are an amazing God. Your love for us stretches far beyond the heavens. Thank you for hearing those prayers and thank you for blessing me with people in my life who know that you are Lord and Savior and that all the power is yours and that you are the source of grace and forgiveness. Father help me to be the light to someone today in need of your word. -Amen
