"Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen."
Deuteronomy 27:18
Reading this today, it seemed weird to me that anyone would purposely lead astray someone that was blind... but then I thought how prevalent scams are, which are basically the same thing, just symbolically, preying upon people in their ignorance... trying to trick people into clicking on something so you can charge them money to get back what you stole... I mean these are quite similar things, and so I guess in a lot of ways it really isn't that strange... but it is still quite evil.
Maybe none of us reading this are involved in something so clearly wrong as trying to make a blind person lose their way, but let's make sure that we aren't shaming others for their limitations or trying to lead them astray in other ways as well.
Let's also remember that misleading the blind is *exactly* what Satan is all about, with us as the blind people. Today let's work on following God, who leads us beside the still waters and restores our souls rather than encouraging us to lose our way... and let's do everything we can to help others find their way to him as well.
