I'm coming to you now from the basin. This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just for you to break it down a little more.

Take it a little deeper. I hope you enjoyed this overflow message. Let me know. Let's go.

Sometimes God uses the wrong things from our perspective to accomplish His purpose in our life.

Sometimes God uses something that we would never see coming or someone that we would never see coming.

To help us or to instruct us or to challenge us or to grow us. So watch the left hand.

I went out and took this boxing lesson the other day. I don't know if I'm going to go back because I got these injured shoulders, these 43-year-old man injuries.

I got away the cost benefit of going out there and doing this MMA at this stage of my life.

But when he was teaching me the boxing stuff, he said, I'm glad you know your stance because one time a guy showed me that because I'm right-handed, I don't lead with my right foot.

The leg that my power comes from bone, my right hand, I'm going to pivot off that leg so I don't want to stand up right now and demonstrate this because I might scare you.

But your left leg leads and then you pivot from the hip to get the power from the right hand.

So I'm leading with the leg that's not on my strong side so power can come from the back.

Now I probably need to take another boxing lesson or two before I start teaching this principle publicly. But between me and you, I think that is in itself kind of a metaphor for the fact that sometimes God will lead with something that looks like weakness, left leg, weak side.

Because the power is in the pivot so that his power, watch this, his right hand can do the work.

God sent a left-handed deliverer and you know, I don't know the percentages but there are less left-handed people.

And particularly in the military, some commentators say that it was unusual for a left-handed marksman or a left-handed archer or a left-handed slinger to be promoted in the ranks, you know, the right-handed people.

But first, well, we're going to see all through the book of judges as I come back to these devotions while we're doing our personal family reading for the book of judges.

We're going to see over and over again. Hey, sometimes God is going to do something and he's going to lead with the left.

He's going to lead with the thing that we don't expect. And many times in your life, you are diminishing what makes you different.

And destiny is sometimes in your difference. You are comparing yourself so much to others who you think, oh, they're the right person.

They're the, they do it the right way. They got the right stuff. You know, the new kids on the block weren't the only one singing about you got the right stuff.

We all look at somebody else as well. She got the right stuff. He's got the right stuff.

Mmm. I guess God can use them. That's smart. They are. Wow. I guess God can use them. We got charismatic there. I guess God can use them.
