Remember Left Handed People In The Bible This Left Handers Day #LeftHandersDay
Hey, as we celebrate, embrace, rejoice on our National Left Handers’ Day, let’s remember even God finds use of us in the Bible.
God used Ehud, a left handed man, to deliver Israel out of Eglon’s (king of Moab) power. Eglon had ruled over Israel for 18 years prior to the southpaw killing him. See Judges 3:12-28.
God also used ambidextrous men to help David as he prepared to take over Saul’s kingdom in 1 Chronicles 12:1-2. These men could sling stones or shoot arrows with their left hand as well as their right. This is cool as I’m somewhat ambidextrous myself. 🙂
Notice, these left handed men mentioned in the Bible were fighters, warriors. It remains true today that we southpaws have to possess a certain fighting type spirit to live in such a right handed world.
