« After a while, Moses’ arms were so tired that Aaron and Hur got a rock for him to sit on. Then they stood beside him and supported his arms in the same position until sunset »
10 But Moses pleaded with the Lord, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.”
11 Then the Lord asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?
12 Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”
13 But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send anyone else.”
14 Then the Lord became angry with Moses. “All right,” He said. “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he speaks well. And look! He is on his way to meet you now. He will be delighted to see you.
15 Talk to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with both of you as you speak, and I will instruct you both in what to do.
16 Aaron will be your spokesman to the people. He will be your mouthpiece, and you will stand in the place of God for him, telling him what to say.
For everyone who becomes great, there is always at least one person God provides to be his or her ‘right-hand man’.
For example, in Exodus 4:10-16, when Moses told God that he could not go to Egypt because he couldn’t speak well,
God appointed Aaron to assist him.
In Exodus 17:8-13, when the Amalekites came to attack Israel, Moses went to the mountaintop with Aaron and Hur and told Joshua to lead the army in the valley below.
Moses lifted up his hands and Israel prevailed,
but when his hands got tired,
Aaron and Hur gave him a rock to sit on and held up his hands.
In the meantime, Joshua was in the valley below fighting.
All these people were right-hand men to Moses.
We find another example in Genesis 24. Abraham called his lead servant and asked him to get a wife for His son amongst his (Abraham’s) people.
That lead servant was Abraham’s right-hand man in this case.
- I should, however, also note that the term is genderless, as a woman can also be a ‘right-hand man’ to another woman.
The right-hand man is someone who is close enough to his or her leader to know what the latter needs at every moment, and be proactive in providing it.
You should also identify your right-hand man if you haven’t.
Your right-hand man can say what you cannot say yourself or might have a way of presenting the matter that will effectively pass on your intended message.
He or she can be the lifter of your hands, the one who will help you when your hands go weary.
Such a person is the one who can provide you with something to sit upon when you are tired;
- someone who can make you comfortable even at his or her own discomfort.
Like Joshua, he or she is the one who can fight your battles even when you are not there.
Your real right-hand man is one who, despite your closeness, will never take you for granted because of familiarity.
- Your right-hand man is one who will see your weaknesses and not use them against you or go around telling others about them;
he or she will rather cover them as Aaron and Hur did for Moses.
Your right-hand man is one to whom you can entrust things and be sure that they will do it as you want it done.
Note that God may have you serve as a right-hand man to someone as well.
Application – Pray that God should connect you to the right-hand man He has prepared for you, and also thank Him specially for adding another year to my years today
