Lessons from Aaron and Hur (Part 2)

Moses could not do it alone.  He physically couldn’t keep that rod of God elevated for the time required for the Israelite army to prevail in this battle.  Every servant of God needs those who will stand by and support him/her in the ministry.  I wonder if Moses specifically invited Aaron and Hur to come with him…or did they just accompany him to the top of the hill because they wanted to be there should he need their help?  Did they have any idea what might be required of them?  Sometimes our leader’s biggest need is our availability.   Our physical presence at the time of need gives us opportunities to serve as the need arises.  Aaron and Hur were not only present, they were observant to the leader’s needs.  They saw Moses’ physical need for rest and assistance.

How does this translate to us?  If our leader is going in early to set up or make early preparations, does she need to invite you to be there and ask for your help?  Or, are you there, regardless, available to help in whatever capacity she needs you?  Are you being observant to needs she may have?
