Orchestration

1 Corinthians 14:1-12

I have a violin. It sits in its case in the attic. What use is that?
Naomi has a trombone. She plays it often. At home she practices. Out of the house she plays in bands and orchestras. The sounds of the trombone join with those of flutes and harps, violins and cellos, oboes and clarinets. But they do not take their music and play whatever they choose. Together they play what the conductor has chose. Carefully composed, music conveying the sentiments of the composer. Carefully orchestrated, music blending the sounds of the instruments into a beautiful melody.
God takes the odd bods of  his creation and blends us into a symphony of witness. I better watch the conductor and not miss my entry.
