My Daily Musings-April 15th, 2026

Have you ever had a day when your arms just felt too heavy to lift?

In Exodus 17, Moses stood on a hill during a battle, holding up the rod of God. As long as his arms were raised, the Israelites prevailed—but when they grew tired and fell, the battle began to turn. Moses wasn’t meant to do it alone. When he became too weary, Aaron and Hur stood beside him, holding up his arms until the victory was won.

I love the quiet truth in that story: even prophets needed help.

Sometimes we may feel like we should be strong enough to carry everything on our own. But maybe strength isn’t found in never faltering—maybe it’s found in allowing others to stand beside us when we do.

Who has helped hold up your arms when you didn’t have the strength? And are there arms near you now that might need your support?

Heavenly Father is mindful of us in our weariness. And often, He answers our prayers by sending people—steady, loving, willing—to help carry what feels too heavy to bear.
