SCRIPTURES:


While the people of Israel were still at Rephidim, the warriors
of Amalek attacked them. Moses commanded
Joshua, “Choose some men to go out and fight the army of Amalek
for us. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding
the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did what Moses had
commanded and fought the army of Amalek. Meanwhile, Moses, Aaron,
and Hur climbed to the top of a nearby hill. As long as
Moses held up the staff in his hand, the Israelites had the
advantage. 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. As a
result, Joshua overwhelmed the army of Amalek in battle. Exodus
17:8-13 (NLT)


I searched for a man among them who would build up a wall and
stand in the gap before Me for the land so I would not have to
destroy it, but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30 (NIV)


For this reason I bow my knees before the
Father,  from whom every
family in heaven and on earth is
named,  that according to the
riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with
power through his Spirit in your inner
being,  so that Christ may dwell in
your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted
and grounded in love,  may have
strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the
breadth and length and height and
depth,  and to know the love of
Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled
with all the fullness of God.  Ephesians 3:14-19 (ESV)
