I like Ehud. First, he was left handed. You've got to like a guy who's left handed. Second, he didn't let his left-handedness get in the way of accomplishing something big for God. In fact, he leveraged it for the Kingdom. As a left handed person, I have to admit that I feel like a minority in society. It's not easy being left handed, and I have a lot of respect for this guy. I think sometimes we can look at aspects of ourselves that make us unique and think that they're detractors to our usefulness in life. In reality, God can use those special characteristics about us to accomplish His purposes in special ways. Ehud's unique make-up (being left handed) allowed God to uniquely use him to take down a king! What has God uniquely gifted you with, and are you using your unique personality traits to further His Kingdom the way Ehud did? If not, then you might just be hindering the Kingdom from advancing.
