It was a battle – Israel on one side and Amalek on the other!
Moses stood atop a hill with staff in hand and arms held high.
Israel would prevail but he became tired and his arms would droop, then Amalek would prevail.
Two men, Aaron and Hur, help Moses hold his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
And Israel won!
This is what Pastor/Clergy Appreciation Month is all about – holding up your pastor!
This month take some time to be an Aaron or Hur and help your pastor.
