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
Disabled - Episode #138
Chapter 5 of John tells us of an account of Jesus healing a man. He was unable to get to the pool when it stirred because of his disability. Jesus saw him, knew how long he'd waited, and approached him. Then He asked the man, "Do you want to get well?"
We may not be sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed like those in the crowd that day, but we all are disabled in some way. There are areas of our lives in which we are unable to do that which we need to do. Perhaps we don't spend much time thinking about these areas, but they are there. Jesus sees us too, knows how long we've waited, and approaches us with the same question, "Do you want to get well?"
Today, we spend a few minutes pondering this question in regard to our own disabilities. If you can muster the courage, join us.
