Pitch Perfect

When I read this verse this morning, I immediately thought about piano tuning. Weird, I know. THIS is why I believe the Holy Spirit whispers to us in our quiet time. I am not musical. I know nothing about piano tuning! However, I remember reading something about piano tuning, lol! I don’t know when, where or why I read it, but it was the idea that a piano is only perfectly tuned when it is tuned to a tuning fork. It cannot be tuned to another piano, an organ, a guitar, or my pitch (thank you, Jesus!); it can only be perfectly tuned to a 440 Hz tuning fork.

In the same way, our hearts can only achieve perfect pitch when the voice of our Father, His Word, is the “tuning fork” we are wielding. There are so many blessings in that place where the rhythms of our hearts sing the story of His love out into the world. But, just like a piano is affected by its environment, so are our hearts! I have found daily tune-ups to be absolutely life-giving! During those times, I can hear His perfectly pitched voice so clearly.

And then, out of nowhere, the melody of this song crept in, and my heart smiled real big!!
