Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles
Weighed down by burdens? Can’t sleep? Need a moment to yourself to connect with Your Creator? Even if it’s five minutes in the bathroom? Everyone is fighting a battle. Battles can be long and hard. I want to be there for you like Aaron and Hur were for Moses in Exodus 17 and hold up your arms. When Moses’s arms were held high, Israel prevailed. God won the victory for Israel, but Moses played his role in obedience, while Aaron and Hur supported him. “For the LORD your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.” Deuteronomy 20:4 The battle is His. He’s won the victory. I would like to stand with you, holding up your arms until the breakthrough happens and you can see the victory materialize. I offer encouragement, something to think on, and a prayer to focus on the One who holds all things together. Your battle may look different than mine, but let’s stand together. I’ll help hold up your arms until victory is real in your life. God is for you and so am I. -H Lynn Pierce
Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles
Get Up & Walk - Episode #140
All through school we were taught to give the 'right' answers. We learned what was acceptable and what was not. We learned what was respectful and what was not. So when I heard this certain man's response to Jesus, I was appalled. How could he offer excuses and explanations instead of a direct and respectful response?
Then, I had to check myself and lean in closer.
Perhaps he had the right answer after all. He was sharing his authentic experience with Jesus. He was creating his own true answer with more words than "yes, sir".
Where are we allowing man to limit our words to prescribed scripts instead of sharing our experience with Jesus? Is it time for us to get up and walk?
***Please note that there will be one more episode before my break in July. This podcast will resume in August. Thanks!***
