Piano Master
This is a wonderful story
to remind us how God
works in our lives. I hope
you are encouraged by it.
Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted
a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet
her. Seizing the opportunity to
explore the wonders of the
concert hall, the little boy rose
and eventually explored his way through a door marked
"NO ADMITTANCE."
When the house lights dimmed
and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned
to her seat and discovered
that the child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted
and spotlights focused on the
impressive Steinway on stage.
In horror, the mother saw her
little boy sitting at the keyboard,
innocently picking out
"Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star."
At that moment, the great piano
master made his entrance,
quickly moved to the piano,
and whispered in the boy's ear,
"Don't quit.
Keep playing."
Then leaning over, Paderewski
reached down with his left hand
and began filling in a bass part.
Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience.
The audience was mesmerized.
That's the way it is with God.
What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music. But with the hand of the Master, our life's work truly can be beautiful.
Next time you set out to
accomplish great feats,
listen carefully. You can hear
the voice of the Master,
whispering in your ear,
"Don't quit.
Keep playing."
Feel His loving arms around you. Know that His strong hands are there helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces.
Remember,
God doesn't
call the equipped,
He equips the called.
And He'll always be there to love and guide you on to great things.
