Not Alone

"Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill." -Exodus 17.10

Joshua leads the men to front lines, Moses heads up the hill with his brother and Hur. They each have a part to play in the battle that is about to take place, and neither of them attempts to do it alone. Neither one can succeed without the help of those with him. Joshua, skilled and knowledgeable as he is on the battlefield, cannot defeat an army alone. And as we'll see, Moses is unable to do his part on his own. We need eachother.

Men, we aren't supposed to do this all on our own. Yes, there are times when we go out on solo missions. There are times when we have to face enemies alone, but we aren't supposed to fight this war by ourselves. The Navy SEALs go out in teams, the Spartans fought together in the phalanx. Both sets of warriors are made up of individuals who are forces to be reckoned with, but no individual is as strong as the group working as a single unit.

We don't have to do this by ourselves. We weren't created to do this alone. Let us band together, working as a unit, to fight the battles of this war. This is not a never ending solo mission. We are not alone.

"Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

To God alone be the Glory!

Strength and Honor
