Our strength in weakness

29 Mar Our strength in weakness

Gunther Wand, a celebrated music conductor, worked even when he was considered too weak to do so until he was ninety.

🎯Hobbling to the podium, he still generated stunning sounds while physically frail.

🎯After surgery to remove a brain tumor, Otto Klemperer was left partially paralyzed. but he also continued to work.

💥Looking weak and uncomfortable, he was forced to conduct while seated in a chair.

💥Yet he led performances and made recordings that even today are considered among the best made.

🎯Conductors like these are inspirational because of their connection with the music.

🎯In our spiritual lives, some think we need to be like those charismatic conductors, being energetic, having a magnetic personality, or appearing physically attractive.

🎯But Paul reminded us that he perhaps had the most impact when he was weak. Then he had to depend on “the power of Christ” working through him. He learned, “when I am weak, then I am strong.”
