Based upon the real life of Michael Oher, the Blind Side reveals a feel good story. Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy take in a large homeless African America boy whose life had been a living nightmare prior to their meeting. Seeing Michael’s potential, their love, guidance and motivation helped pave the way for a career in football. This dream became a reality as Michael was chosen in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft as a left tackle, protecting the blind side of the Baltimore Raven’s quarterback.
Psalm 124 refers to a spiritual blind side. The author, King David, reflects upon his life, looking back on how he survived the attacks of King Saul and other nations. What he discovered was life altering as the hand of God had been an invisible force watching over him time after time. This chapter serves as a tribute to the Lord, a reminder to all that God is in the back ground protecting our blind side.
Unfortunately, most individuals like me doubt God when things appear to be going against them. Somehow the miracles of the past get lost, escaping my memory, erased by time, trials or a wavering faith. Therefore, the next moment you feel like God is leaving you out in the dark, clueless about your future, read Psalm 124:1-8 to calm your fears. Although your sight might be blurred by unanswered prayers, the Lord has your back!
