There is an interesting story about a mother who wanted her young son to learn how to play the piano. She had given him some lessons, and thought that if she took him to a live concert of a great pianist, he might gain inspiration to continue practising.
When they arrived at the concert, they took the front seats. Suddenly the mother noticed that the boy had slipped away. At eight o’clock, the stage was illumined by the spotlight as a sign that the concert was about to start. When she looked up, she saw her son sitting at the grand piano, picking out the tune, TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR. Then she saw the great musician enter the stage and move towards the piano.
The musician whispered to the boy, “Don’t stop. Keep playing”. While the boy kept playing his simple tune, the musician leaned down behind him, and using his left hand played some notes on the left side of the piano to accompany the child with low. bass notes. He then reached around the child’s back and put his right hand on the right side of the piano and accompanied the child with high notes. Together, the musician and the child played and the crowd was thrilled.
This is how the unseen Hand of God helps us in our daily life. Many times we try to do something knowing that we are incapable of succeeding, only to find out that we are mysteriously helped by some invisible force. We often think that we are all alone in the world. We think that we have to face the challenges of life by ourselves. But we do not realise that God’s help is always available to us. At the right moment, we get a helping hand when we think all is lost.
As we walk through the byways of life, sometimes feeling discouraged that we are alone, we should recall how God is always with us. His arms are always surrounding us, helping us with the high and low notes of life. God’s arms are always around our back, surrounding us, loving us and protecting us.
