In the early morning silence, all I can hear is the ringing in my ears. But there’s a sound beyond my hearing that gently wafts around me. It emanates from the great heart of Jehovah Shammah – the LORD who is always present.

The LORD your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
Zephaniah 3:17, ESV

Charles Spurgeon wrote, “Think of the great Jehovah singing! Can you imagine it? Is it possible to conceive of the Deity breaking into a song: Father, Son and Holy Ghost together singing over the redeemed? God is so happy in the love which he bears to his people that he breaks the eternal silence, and sun and moon and stars with astonishment hear God chanting a hymn of joy.” http://BLB Blog – Spurgeon – Our God Sings

At times His song crescendos into loud shouts of joy then decrescendos into quiet whispers as gentle as a summer breeze. No place and no time are songless. His melody whispers through the cacophony of life and into the quiet of a sleepless night.

All through the night His song is with me.
Psalm 42:8

His song is the song of Presence. It is always with me. When my ears are tuned to the world and my mind shadowed with struggles, He still sings. But when my soul is hushed in His presence, I’ll begin to pick up the deep tones of the song, and Jehovah Shammah will teach me to sing.

What is this song that envelops me? It’s the melody, harmonies and rhythm of all of His goodness flowing around me and into me. It’s His song of endless love, grace, and mercy. It becomes my hope, my quiet love, and my exultant joy. And my soul sings it back to Him.
