The world is filled with famous left-handed people. Paul McCartney, Keanu Reeves, Mark Zuckerberg, and even Oprah are all supposedly left-handed. In the Bible, however, there’s only one specific individual who is given this unique description: Ehud. And while he may not be famous, his story is pretty epic. If you’ve ever felt “unusable”, his story will inspire you.
Recently, two former Major League Baseball players; Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, were denied their last chance to become members of the league’s Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, this is partly how they will be remembered. There’s also the late Betty White who is being remembered as “America’s Beloved Grandmother” for her storied acting career. Have you thought about how you want to be remembered? A loving husband? A wonderful mother? A successful business leader? We will look at another one of Scripture’s hidden heroes who’s remembered for her great faith. Her faith not only changed the trajectory of her family’s life, but ours as well.
Don’t you just love rooting for the underdog? There’s something about seeing a person overcome all the odds to gain the victory. The Bible is actually quite full of famous underdog stories: David versus Goliath, Gideon versus the Midianites, Moses versus Pharaoh, Daniel versus Babylon, etc. But there’s a hidden one found in Judges 11 that I’m guessing not many believers are familiar with.
Some of you know that my daughter is pursuing her PhD in Chemistry (I know, I know… she got her mamma’s brains). She had to take an entire class on how to prevent combustible situations in the lab. It takes knowledge, discernment, and carefulness, and so it is in life as well.
This is exactly what our first hidden hero, Abigail, modeled for us in 1 Samuel 25. She prevented a combustible situation that literally saved lives (as well as the reputation of the future King). I’m excited to share it with you so we can gain a little more wisdom for our own journey.
