10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
I feel as a church staff member that it is important to come alongside our Lead Pastors to hold up their arms in times of battles and adversities. Especially during those times that can lead to some weary and tiring times.
It is important that we step up and help those men/women who serve so faithfully and faithfully pray for us and invest into our lives. That may mean praying for them! That may mean literally holding them up. That may mean blessing them in ways that they could never imagine.
We have a tendency to want to be blessed from the ministry of a Lead Pastor, we want their time, the best sermon, the best teaching, as church staff - more money, a promotion, more credit...we can be demanding sometimes from those who lead us. How about instead of us being demanding we become a blessing, we serve, we come alongside of those that have been so faithful in their calling and ministry to us.
Just some random thoughts!
