Be Not Weary
INTRO:
"And Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun " ().
Old Picture
I) INTRO:
A) This week the youth are on their mission trip and I was thinking that this audience will be an older group and maybe I ought to tailor my message a little for an older audience.
I thought to myself what I feel since I’m getting older and the words Weary, worn, tired, bushed, fatigued and exhausted came to mind.
The inevitable movement of life (we grow older) The burden must be shared by the old and young alike All of us need God's helping hand in life's wilderness

B) Granite not all of the older generation feel that, but some of do, as do some of the younger generation.

SOME KEY VERSES
SOME KEY VERSES
A) KEY VERSE:
A) KEY VERSE:
"The Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand?
And he said, A rod" ().
God was calling Moses to be the great emancipator of Israel from the Egyptian bondage.
Moses was very reluctant to be the leader of Israel and offered many excuses.
To counter some of the excuses God asked Moses, "What is that in thine hand?"
There are some good present-day lessons in this heart-searching question.
, ESV)
C) “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
(, ESV)
FIRST—THE APPEAL
, ESV)
"The Lord said... What is in thine hand?"
When God calls you to service, he wants all of you and will use all of you.
The appeal to Moses was twofold.
D) “Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.”
(, ESV)
WE’RE IN A HOLY WAR
• The appeal to surrender.
"What is that in thine hand?" God wants all of us.
Will you give to God everything.
He may ask what is in your billfold as well as what is in your hand.
God wants it and if we are to serve Him, we must give it all to Him.
III) HOLY WAR
A) Israel had sung their first song,
• The appeal to submission.
"What is that in thine hand?" God not only wants your possessions, but he also wants your will.
The appeal here also involved Moses' submission to the commands of God.
Submission to God is obedience to God.
B) Gathered their first Manna,
SECOND—THE APPRAISAL
C) Drunk the first time from that stream that flowed out of the rock.
"A rod."
That was the answer that Moses gave to God.
The rod was a simple shepherd's crook, nothing more.
D) Now they pass on to meet their first enemy and fight their first battle.
• The appraisal of depravity.
"A rod."
Moses saw nothing special in the rod to serve the Lord.
We may not seem to have much special ability that God can use.
We may be short on talent and other things.
And to us all that we have may seem useless, worthless, vain and disqualifying.
But that is only the appraisal of sinful man.
• The appraisal of Deity.
God used Moses' rod to do great things.
In fact, the rod became known as "the rod of God" (; ).
It was prominent in a miracles of a snake (; ), in opening the Red Sea (); in bringing water from a rock (, ); and in the victory over the Amalekites ().
We may appraise the rod as nothing special but yielded to God it can become great and powerful.
The lad with a few fish and buns saw this happen.
Our biggest problem is not having enough, but lack of surrender and submission.
If, like the children of Israel, we have been delivered from bondage and separated unto God, we may also expect to be attacked by the enemy while we are weary, tired and exhausted.

THIRD—THE ADMONITION
A LOOK AT OUR FOE
"What is that in thine hand?"
This question can be asked in an admonitory way, too.
Do you have something in your hand that you should not have?
Do you have a magazine or book in your hand that is unholy?
Do you have in your hand a can or glass of some hellish drink?
Do you have your hand the hand of a man or woman whose hand you should not be holding?
We need to empty our hands of all evil things which can defile us and dishonor God.
"Who shall stand in his holy place?
He that hath clean hands ..." (, )
(KJV) 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
IV) LOOK AT OUR FOE — Vs. 8 “Amalek”

Our Battle with the Flesh
A) Amalek, or, the Christian’s Antagonist.
Who was Amalek?
Amalek has not a very honourable pedigree.
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
He is the offspring of Esau, the brother of Jacob
9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, "being carnal," and so is a type of the flesh.
