God Give Us All The Power And Blessings Of A Sunrise
Living in concert with God, who gives us The Power And Blessings Of A Sunrise, reminds me of the story of a mother whose young son loved to play the piano.
Wanting to encourage his progress, she looked forward to taking him to a concert given by the famous Polish pianist, Paderewski.
When the evening arrived, they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and eyed the impressive stage. The mother engaged herself in conversation with a friend seated to her left.
At eight o’clock, when the lights in the auditorium dimmed and the spotlights came on, the little boy was sitting on the bench of the great Steinway and began innocently picking out “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”.
The mother gasped in horror, but before she could retrieve her son, the master pianist appeared on stage, quickly moving to the keyboard. He hovered over the boy whispering “Don’t quit. Keep playing”. Paderewski then reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part. Soon his right arm reached around the other side of the boy and improvised a delightful duet.
Together, the master and the boy made great music.
And so it is when we invite God to put His arms around us, disguised as The Power And Blessings Of A Sunrise.
