Reading for today is Exodus 17:8-13.
S.O.A.P.
Exodus 17:12
S: Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset.
O: Supported and held him up.
A: This reading brought me to tears thinking of what a bond these men had. This is what good friends do. We support and love each other when we feel we can't take another step. That is what this our group is. We support and love each other through tough times and in joyful times.
P: Father, God, thank you for the reminder of what it is like to have good friends. I pictured this story in my mind as I read it. I can only imagine how tired Moses' arms were. Thank you for Aaron and Hur being such wonderful examples of what friends should do for one another. Thank you for the women in our group for always being here lifting each other up and praying for each other. Be with us this week as we go about our lives and recognize people in our lives who need us to help them and show them what it's like to be a friend with you as the one we are serving. In Jesus' precious name. ~Amen
Who will you support and lift up today?
Be blessed and a blessing.
