But Moses’ hands grew weary; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; so his hands were steady until the sun set.

Exodus 17:12

Strange things happen sometimes. For example, in this scene as long as Moses holds up his hands giving praise to God Israel is strong in battle. And when his arms grow weary, and begin to slip down, they begin to lose. This verse gives praise to God for victory for holding up one's hands is an expression of praise to God.

And, at the same time, this verse gives another call for teamwork as Aaron and Hur helps Moses hold up his hands.

As this new year is just weeks old this text pushes me again to focus on the teamwork of the church. What team work is God calling me to be a part of? And, if it helps, what teamwork is God calling you to be a part of?
