We have an old upright piano that sits in our living room.  For a long time it served as a piece of furniture, rather than something used to fulfill its purpose.  However, Bailey has shown some interest in it and is actually using it.  Therefore she has been getting lessons on that piano so she can learn how to play songs beyond 'Chopsticks' and 'Mary had a little Lamb'.  Well the other day her piano instructor mentioned that the piano was extremely out of tune and the piano was not producing a sound that it was created to make.  So last week this man came to our door with his briefcase full of wrenches and tuning forks, along with a computerized gage that identifies the perfect pitch for each cord.  I watched as he would push the key and then turn the wrench ever so slightly until it was perfect. You could even hear the sound change as he turned the wrench. Now if you familiar with the inside of a piano you know that there are many cords and little nuts that need to be adjusted.  The Tuner patiently went through each cord and brought it back into tune. You see although the piano played the note it could not bring itself back into tune. That could only be accomplished through the hand, ear, and wrench of the Tuner.  When the tuner was finished that piano made a sound that it had not made in some time. As the man played a beautiful melody with every key sounding perfectly, it then made the tune it was created to make.  We are a lot like that old piano.  We were created to Worship God and to live a life that is in perfect tune with God.  However, there are all kinds of things that are pulling us out of tune.  Yet God like the patient tuner, patiently brings our lives back in tune when we allow him to open up our insides.  Now I know that there are many people who are content to just be a piece of furniture, filling up space in some basement. You would rather God just let you be seen and not heard or played.  Friend your heart has become disillusioned and apathetic because you have allowed Satan to bring confusion to you about your purpose.  Please understand God created you to make a beautiful noise, to be played, by the creator of the universe.  God wants to play a beautiful song with your life, but first you must let Him bring your life into tune. You cannot tune yourself any more than that piano could.  It needed the tuning hand and ear of a tuner, and so do you. Don't become a piece of furniture in God's house, rather become a Grand Piano that is has its ivory's tickled by the fingers of God every day. Every person must live with the knowledge that every time God makes a little adjustment in your life he is only preparing you to play a great masterpiece.
