Divine Tuning
Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous…


Men think God is destroying them because He is tuning them. The violinist screws up the key till the tense cord sounds the concert pitch; but it is not to break it, but to use it tunefully, that he stretches the siring upon the musical rack.

(H. W. Beecher.)
