Hey folks, here is a thought. How about we support those who above us in ministry. This is your pastor, elder, deacon or ministry leader. There may even be others who are above you. They all need our support. At first glance you may be thinking about prayer. For who doesn’t need prayer. Or maybe even treating them to a lunch or coffee. This is also a good idea. But not what I am thinking about.

You see I was in a meeting where we talked of this same subject. And as people were giving their thoughts I heard God start telling me of Moses. A man who God used to free the Israelite’s from their bondage in Egypt. You would think then that he had everything he needed to do this. To lead the people to the promised land. This he did have. He had others in place to help him. Two of them are Aaron and Hur. In Exodus 17:8-16 we read of the battle against the Amalekites. At one point Moses’ hands and arms were getting tired. So when he rested his arms by lowering them the Israelite’s started losing the battle. When they were up, they were winning. So, when they became tired Aaron and Hur held up his arms and hands until the battle was won by the Israelite’s.

Do we do this for those in authority above us? Are we willing to go the extra distance and say whatever you need I am available? Are we doing what it takes to win the battle? If we are answering these questions quickly and easily then we aren’t being honest with ourselves. For these aren’t easy to be honest about. I’m sure we all are failing to some degree. Just because we fail doesn’t mean we quit trying. We need to start small and grow into it. Let them know that we want to help. Its just that we may not know how, but we want to try. This can be a very good growing time for you and those who you want to help. Unless you step out of the boat you will not know if you can walk on water.

This time of the year is a time for giving. Why not give of yourself and support your leaders.

Be blessed, Ken
