Physically challenged people and persons otherwise handicapped wre not permitted to serve as priests in the Holy Testament.   There is a valid principle at work: only that which is without defect can approach the altar.  Only what is complete and the best is to be given to God.

  Thank God for Jesus!  He is the only perfect One who is also willing to share the perfection of grace with all those who give their lives to him. Thus, there is no need for us literally to fulfill the principle hehind restricting servants of the Lord to whole persons; Jesus makes us whole.
  While all this is true, still be sure that you are giving your best to the Lord.  Your whole heart, your complete intention, your number-one desire is to dedicate your life to God alone.
