Looming Tackiness

This week's lighted-sign message at the neighborhood ELCA Tabernacle of Tackiness:

WEAVE IN FAITH AND GOD WILL FIND THE THREAD

OK, I'm not sure I get this. Is it saying faith is that in which you weave, like underwater basket-weaving except with faith instead of water? Or is faith a thread that you are weaving into something? It rather sounds like the latter. Which is really an odd analogy coming from a "Lutheran" church. It makes faith out to be a merit you contribute in the hope that God will notice it and be pleased, rather than the funnel God uses to pour His undeserved gifts into you.

Maybe what they mean is that God will pull the thread...
