Left hand is better than right

Do you know that God used a left handed man to kill a right handed pagan king!
That pagan king is Eglon of Moab who had tyrannized the people of Israel for 18 years.
So, in came Ehud, the leftist. For some reasons, Ehud had lost the use of his right hand.
So his daily activities depends wholly on his left hand. God seized this opportunity and entrusted Ehud with a sacred job: Become his divine assassin!

And the opportunity arrived on tribute day. As all nations came to pay tribute to the king, Ehud stood in line for his turn. As with all days, the security guards protecting King Eglon was as tight as a corset and most were denied access to the king. This was not so for Ehud.

You see, Ehud was not seen as a threat as he was left handed and viewed by all as a
handicap. So, Ehud had a private one-to-one audience with the king. As Ehud drew closer to the fat pagan king, who was then seated on his royal ornate throne, he revealed his sword and quickly plunged it into the unsuspecting king's belly. The king was so fat that his belly swallowed the sword. The king's death liberated the people of God.

God uses our weakness and turns it into strength. Ehud's left hand, Moses' cowardice, Peter's denial and Saul's hatred were weaknesses in the eyes of Man. But God used them all to accomplish great work and to fulfill specific purposes.

Do you have a handicap? Do you think you are unworthy? Do you feel inferior, unwrought, undeserving? God doesn't care about your weaknesses. You may be left handed, small sized, unruly looking, God doesn't CARE. All He cares is this: your left hand does not work alone...God complements it with His Right Hand! Together, we work in partnership with God and impact lives for His glory!
