Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 944 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Aching Arms – Meditation Monday Thank you for joining us today for our five days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. This is Day 944 of our trek, and it is time for Meditation Monday.

But whenever he dropped his hand, the Amalekites gained the advantage.  Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset.” I don’t know why God required Moses to keep his hands raised when the ancient Israelites were in battle...
