Holy Choreography

Earl Palmer writes in his book, “Integrity in a World of Pretense”:

Paul says that two things will combine to make the bad situation in which he finds himself turn out for his deliverance: the prayers of the Philippians and “the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.” The word “help” in in this sentence comes from a verb that has as its root the Greek word choros, choir or chorus. It originally meant “ to lead a chorus,” then “to pay the expenses for training a chorus,” and by the time Paul wrote it had come to mean simply “to defray the expenses of something, to provide, to supply in abundance, to choreograph.

The Holy Spirit choreographs our prayers.

There is a dance competition show that I love to watch--for a lot of different reasons. I love the way the dancers lose themselves in the dance. Their lack of inhibition doesn’t just tug on my heart it about pulls it straight out of my chest. I also have favorite choreographers. There are a few that I can always count on to amaze and move me.

Does the Holy Spirit do that for me? Can I throw myself, with no inhibitions, completely without abandon, into His “unforced rhythms”? Do I trust the steps He has laid out for me, for others? Can I let Him lead? Can you?
