What Ehud Teaches Us About Feeling Unqualified

Most people who end up used by God in scripture were not the obvious choice.

Ehud certainly was not.

He did not fit the image of a celebrated warrior. Yet God used him to rescue Israel during one of its darkest seasons.

That matters because many people quietly believe God only uses:

• polished speakers
• gifted leaders
• highly talented Christians

But throughout scripture, God repeatedly works through ordinary people who simply choose obedience.

You may feel:

• overlooked
• weak
• spiritually inconsistent
• uncertain

Yet God has never depended on human perfection.

The question is not whether you feel impressive.
The question is whether you are willing.
