An instrument capable of delivering refined tones that stir the soul is inherently sensitive. Even slight changes in temperature or humidity can alter its sound. That’s why regular tuning is essential for rich and nuanced performance. This holds true whether the instrument belongs to a novice or a seasoned musician of decades. Some instruments even require retuning in the middle of a performance. It is no exaggeration to say that the foundation of a beautiful performance lies in accurate tuning.
When tuning, the instrument is adjusted to match a standard pitch. The same principle applies to our lives as believers, each playing our part in the symphony of the gospel. The standard for our faith is God Himself. We must routinely check whether the sound we produce aligns with His voice—whether the strings of our faith have become too loose or out of sync.
Let us continually seek God’s will, quiet our hearts, and build our faith through daily engagement with His word. A well-tuned faith remains steady even in a noisy and chaotic world. It leaves a deep and resonant impact—within oneself and others—with a clear tone that points toward salvation.
