The Blind Side: Protecting the Blind Side (Psalm 82:3-4)
Michael Oher in The Blind Side is a homeless teenager taken in by the Tuohy family. Leigh Anne Tuohy sees what others missed: a person of immense value living invisible on the margins. The Psalm commands: defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Michael protective instinct on the football field - guarding the quarterback blind side - becomes metaphor for what the Tuohys do for him. They cover his blind side when he cannot see the threats. True protection means entering someone life and standing where they are vulnerable.
