Left-handed

I read a cool thing in the Bible this morning: There was a guy named Ehud (Judges 3:15) from the Benjamite tribe of Israel, and he was left-handed, as were many people from the tribe of Benjamin (Judges 20:16). In those days (around 1300 B.C.), being left-handed was considered a handicap or a deformity. But Ehud used this to his advantage: He reached for his weapon on his right thigh with his left hand. If he had been right-handed, he would have reached for his weapon on his left thigh with his right hand, and his actions would have been easily detected. But he was able to get a hold of his weapon without being suspicious. The reason this is cool is because God used an abnormal person to do a big thing which brought about Israel's freedom. The lesson is that God doesn't use normal people; he uses weird people. #religion
