Exodus 17:8, 11-12 (NIV focus verse 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.
The School of Conflict. “The challenge of the world, the flesh, and the devil to our progress in God is used as an opportunity to teach our hands to war and our fingers to fight (Psa. 144:1), i.e., to perfect us in the skill of overcoming by cooperation with God in the employment of His limitless resources. Such conflict can be expected in: temptation (Matt. 4:1-11); opposition (Jer. 11:19-21; 28:1-11); and suffering (Job 1:6 – 2:10; 42:1-6).”
