“As these disagreements and wrongs surface, why would you ever entrust them to the judgment of people you don't trust in any other way?” (1 Corinthians 6:4 MSG)
Since my husband and son play the guitar, we have several guitars in our home. My son puts away his guitars when we have company, because he doesn’t like people to ‘mess with’ his instruments. My husband leaves his guitars in the living room where anyone can pick them up. People who don’t know what they are doing sometimes play with the guitars-- twisting the tuning keys and plucking on the strings. This can cause a guitar to go out of tune, sometimes even breaking the strings.
I have witnessed something similar happening wherever a group of people gather. There are always people who ‘mess with’ anyone who will allow it. They will tune you according to their desires--sometimes for amusement, sometimes for personal gain. Those who yield to their manipulation are soon out of tune and discordant.
Don’t allow those whom you do not trust completely to influence your life choices. Do not give manipulators access to your mind. They will twist your thoughts until they break you. God is the only one that can tune you perfectly. Hand over your life to Him. He knows what He is doing. He will bring out the best in you, creating melodious harmonies.
