That humming we hear

Wednesday December 3^rd, 1 Corinthians 1: ⁷Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.  Every congregation is given the spiritual gifts it needs to be a vessel for God’s love and grace in the community in which they are planted.  The roadblock most often is the way we keep pushing our perceived gifts rather than the gifts God has given us as a community of faith.  A sailboat can fight against the wind and make some headway, but it is a thing of beauty when catches full sail and gets up on step.  At that moment it becomes what it was intended to be from its very conception, and the sails and the ropes literally hum with excitement.  God intends something like that for us also.  It happens when we stop fighting God’s leading and turn and let the Holy Spirit catch our sails.  That humming we hear is what some would call angels singing.
