Leviticus 19
I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. I remember being at a disability conference; and most attending were hearing, but some people were deaf. During one of the meetings I overheard a couple of the hearing people saying hurtful things about those who were deaf. They felt free to gossip because they knew the deaf people couldn’t hear them. Well, Leviticus chapter 19 says, “Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind but fear your God. I am the Lord.” In this verse, God makes it clear that he is the guardian of the deaf and the protector of the blind. They can’t hear or see, but God sure can.
Thankfully, the sort of incident I described does not happen too often in Christian circles. But the lesson goes far beyond the deaf and the blind. God sees and God hears. So fear the Lord; don’t gossip, no matter who you’re talking about… because nothing is hidden from his sight.
