**Judges 3:16** — *"Now Ehud had made for himself a double-edged sword a cubit long. He strapped it to his right thigh under his cloak."*
A left-handed man. A concealed blade. A throne room in Moab.
What Scripture preserves here is not merely military strategy — it is the portrait of a steward who prepared *before* he was called forward. Ehud did not fashion his sword in the doorway of the palace. He came ready. The deliverance of Israel was hidden on his person long before the moment demanded it.
Ephesians 6:17 calls the Word of God "the sword of the Spirit." Like Ehud's blade, it must be *carried before it is drawn* — worn close, concealed in daily discipline, strapped to the life we are already living.
Beloved, the covenant faithfulness of God often moves through the prepared and the patient.
Walk with that truth today — and consider what you are carrying into the rooms where it matters most.
