Bible Verse
“But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed…”
— Judges 3:15 (KJV)
Ellen G. White Quote
“In the humblest lot are to be found the highest qualifications for usefulness.”
— Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 330
Reflection
Ehud is one of the most forgotten heroes of Scripture. A left-handed man in a tribe known for its warriors but also for being right-handed. In those days, being left-handed was seen as strange, possibly even weak. But that’s exactly who God chose.
Because when Ehud slipped a sword past the enemy unnoticed, his weakness became his advantage. His difference became his deliverance.
What others overlook, God uses. What society sees as a disadvantage, heaven may call a strategy.
You may feel too quiet, too odd, too flawed, or too different for big things. But God has always worked through the unlikely through women past childbearing, shepherd boys, fishermen, and even a man with a sword in the wrong hand.
Today’s Whisper
Don’t be ashamed of the way God made you. Your weakness may be the very thing He plans to use for victory.
