I was reading a bit of the story in the Bible where the Israelites are
fighting and as long as Moses keeps his hands raised the Israelites
are winning the battle. It wasn't actually because his hands were
raised that they won, of course it was Gods power and not Moses. So
why then did God want Moses to keep his hands raised? God could have
won the battle without Moses raising hands even once, so what was the
significance?

"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."

Can you imagine what that must have been like for Moses and Aaron and
Hur? I wonder what they talked about as Moses arms went limp and Aaron
and Hur held them there. And I wonder if the people fighting down
below looked up and saw the three men on the hill with Moses arms
raised up. I like the picture of the three men standing together
sharing the burden. I'm sure that Aaron and Hur also grew tired of
holding up Moses' arms, but it's beautiful that they did it together.
I think God won the battle this way as a symbol for how we should
share each others burdens. What do yout think?
