thumbs & Big Toes

The king of Bezek was defeated by Judah and when they caught him they cut off his thumbs and big toes.  He said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me” (Judges 1:7).  There are at least two lessons for us in this story.

​One, even the seemingly most insignificant parts of the body are important.  This is true in regards to the physical body.  To lose our thumbs would make it quite difficult to handle things and to lose our big toes would be crippling.  But, this is also true in regards to the spiritual body of Christ, His church.
