‏ Exodus 17:10

v. 10–12: Joshua fought in the valley, and Moses went to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur. Moses held up his hands with the rod. When he did this, Israel was winning. When he lowered his hands, Amalek started to win (Exodus 17:11 a). Moses’ hands grew tired, so Aaron and Hur helped by holding up his hands, one on each side. Moses sat on a stone while they supported him, and his hands stayed steady until sunset (Exodus 17:12 b). This shows that prayer and faith are very important, and sometimes we need help from others to keep going. It also reminds us that even great leaders can become tired and need support.
