Are you trying to kill us?’ Moses, caught between an angry mob and an invisible God, does the only sensible thing—he cries out to the Lord. And God tells him to strike the rock. Water pours from stone, which is precisely the sort of thing God specializes in: bringing life from the most unlikely sources. Then comes the battle with Amalek, and one of Scripture’s most vivid images: Moses on the hilltop with his arms raised, and Israel prevailing; Moses’ arms dropping from exhaustion, and Amalek surging forward. Aaron and Hur solve the problem with beautiful practicality—they sit Moses on a rock and hold up his arms. This is what the community of faith looks like: not one hero doing everything, but brothers holding up the one who leads. Jethro sees the same truth from a different angle. Moses is wearing himself out judging every dispute, and his father-in-law speaks the blunt wisdom that only family can deliver: ‘What you are doing is not good.’ The solution is delegation—shared leadership, distributed authority. God’s work is too important to be destroyed by one man’s exhaustion. 00:00 Water from the Rock 02:00 Battle with Amalek 04:00 Aaron and Hur Hold Up Moses’ Arms 05:00 Jethro Visits Moses 07:00 Jethro’s Wise Counsel 08:00 Moses Appoints Judges Buy Immerse Beginnings today! 4 Questions to get your conversations started: 1.
