Ever wondered if God could use the very things others overlook about you? In this deeply moving examination of Judges 3, we unpack the remarkable story of Ehud – a left-handed deliverer from the smallest tribe in Israel who single-handedly freed his people from oppression.
We begin by drawing a surprising parallel between the gore in Jurassic Park and the graphic biblical account of Ehud's confrontation with King Eglon. While both might make us want to look away, there's profound spiritual significance in facing uncomfortable realities head-on. The story reveals how Ehud's left-handedness – a characteristic often pitied or dismissed – became the strategic advantage that allowed him to conceal a weapon where guards wouldn't check. What others saw as a disadvantage, God used as the perfect qualification for extraordinary purpose.
Key Passages: Judges 3:12-30
