Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, saying, “A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”(Exodus 17:8~16)
* 우리가 경험한 하나님이 ‘여호와’이시다. 모세와 아론과 훌과 여호수아의 ‘여호와’는 승리의 깃발이셨다. “오늘 훌/모/아 본문을 보면서, 모세와 제 기도가 어떻게 다른지 눈여겨 보았습니다. 믿음은 이겨놓고 싸우는 일인데, 저는 야전의 대응에 치중하여 기도에 혼신을 다하지 못합니다. 사력을 다하는 기도가 하나님 경험의 열쇠인 듯 합니다. 전쟁은 하나님께 속하였음을 고백합니다.”
