The last one took about 12 minutes, and I think I knew partly how Moses felt when he had to hold up his arms while the Israelites were fighting the Amalekites (Exodus 17:8–14); when he held up his arms, God gave them victory, and when he lowered his arms, they began losing. So they entire day they were fighting, Moses held up his arms. Thankfully God gave him Aaron and Hur (Caleb’s son) to hold up his arms; he didn’t have to do it all on his own! If he’d had to, though, I’m sure God would have given him strength. “And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.” (vv. 12–13)
