Hire Good People

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. Exodus 17:12

This is a great story. As long as Moses kept his hands in the air, the Israelite army succeeded in their battle against the Amalekites. Aaron and Hur saw that Moses was getting tired, so they supported him by literally lending a hand.

Aaron and Hur showed respect for their leader, but there is also a lesson about Moses in all of this.

Moses hired good people.

A leader’s effectiveness often results from the people he or she has hired. Getting good people on your team is a major step toward achieving your mission. Look for people who can complement your own skills and talents.

Recruit to your own weaknesses, and enjoy the support you receive when you need it most.
