The wrestling angel gifted Jacob with a limp as a permanent reminder of his encounter with God. Jacob's life-long policy was to run. His final glory was that he learned to lean (Hebrews 11:21). A wound is a good thing if it is accepted as a stewardship from God, appropriated as a channel of God's strength and consecrated to God's purpose. Where dependence is the objective weakness is the advantage.

My soul doth magnify the Lord...Wow. This performance is a wonderful reminder of Bach's timeless works.
It's also special because the setting of the video is the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, Germany, where Bach served. Ronnie & Jane - I worshiped in this church a couple of years ago the Sunday after I was with you at Danube Church. (Two great Sundays in Europe, back-to-back: with R.C. Stevens and J.S. Bach.)
