DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 26; Ezekiel 43; John 19:17-42
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
James Strong, in his excellent concordance, indicates that one way of translating “left handed” in this context is “impeded”. Probably Ehud was disabled in that he had a weak right hand. Do you have some physical or other deficiency and feel that it limits you in the Lord’s service? Remember that the Lord can use what appears to be a weakness as an amazing tool to do His work. For example, Fanny Crosby’s blindness resulted in her memorising much of the Bible and writing some of our greatest Scripture based hymns —Brian Russell
Thou knowest Lord how very weak I am, and how I fear to stray;
For strength to serve I look to Thee alone, the strength Thou must supply!
—James McGranahan
