Tuned by Trouble
Mark 13:19
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created to this time…


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 string upon the musical rack.

(H. W. Beecher.)
