Have you ever thought about the fact that God sings over you? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our ears and eyes were opened so that we could see all the things that God is doing on our behalf and so that we could hear Him singing encouragement to us?

Just imagine when you are struggling, if you could hear God singing, “you can do everything through Christ who strengthens you.” How about those times when you are afraid and there He is singing, “fear not for I am with you.”

God’s word says that he surrounds us with songs of victory. Some translations say that He surrounds us with songs of deliverance. No matter which word we use the fact is that He surrounds us with songs. Music has always been a main channel for worship ever since worship of God began in heaven. God even required that the singers and dancers go out before the army. God says that He takes His seat of honor on our praise, and that He inhabits the praises of His people.

I have always known that worship and praise were gateways into the presence of God, but today He put upon my heart to look at how He surrounds us with songs. As I consider it I am amazed to think of Him singing to me in order to strengthen and encourage me. Some might think it a bit loony imagining God singing a love song to me, but isn’t the whole Bible a love letter to His believers from God?

I don’t believe that God wants us backed off somewhere keeping our distance from Him. I think he wants to hold us in His arms and slow dance as He sings songs of comfort, encouragement, wisdom, victory, and deliverance in our ears, while we worship Him with all our being. There is no doubt in my mind that He is the most wonderful singer of all and to think that He surrounds me with songs really just makes me love Him more.

The next time you find yourself struggling, just stop and imagine what God is singing in your ear. When you win a victory, try to imagine that God is singing celebration song for you. Well it may not be easy to imagine these things at first, if you don’t see God as wanting to do such things. If that is the case, take a step out of the boat and see what it is like to walk on the water with Jesus. Try to imagine His song over you. After all, He is the one who is able to do abundantly above and beyond all you could hope or imagine.

Listen! Is that the Lord I hear singing over you right now? Can you feel His song in your heart? I know it is there. He said He surrounds us with songs. Rejoice!
