Moses as Cheerleader

American humorist, Lewis Grizzard, said, "Cheerleaders are like parsley on a plate, it’s nice to look at, but doesn't really do anything"

I beg to differ, and I have scripture to back me up. Do you remember the story of the battle between the Isreallites and the Amalekites in Exodus 17? As long as Moses held up the staff, of God (his rally stick?) the Isrealites were in the lead. When Moses' arms faltered, so did the Isrealites. So he got Aaron and Hur (the rest of his squad) to help. At the end of the battle, Moses and his fellow cheerleaders sent the Amelikites down in defeat and afterwards established Biblical precedent for talking smack and putting up banners:
Exodus 17:14,15 “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, ‘I will completely blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven.’ Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner.

Be a cheerleader. In do or die situations, call on fellow believers to help, and don’t hesitate to boast in the power of our God.
