The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save, he will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

In January I posted this picture and verse along with a few of my thoughts for the new year on the site, At The Well

One of the comments that I received really touched my heart and I just had to respond.

I just asked one of my daughters, who yes, is an adult, if she ever heard God sing? Have you?

Dear Anonymous,

Have I ever heard God singing? If by that you mean have I heard him with my physical ears, the answer would have to be no. But, I HAVE "heard" God singing over me in my heart and in my soul. I have "heard" God singing over me when I take time to focus on His blessings. I have "heard" God singing over me when I spend deep quality time with Him. I have "heard" God singing over me when I marvel in His awesomeness. I have “heard” God singing over me when I snuggle with my children. I have “heard” God singing over me when I worship him with song. I have “heard” God singing over me when I take time to give to others. I have “heard” God singing over me when I give all I have to Him.

I don’t always hear the Lord singing over me. Often I get too busy. Too caught up in myself to hear God’s voice, to hear His singing. But when I take the time to be still. When I let the Lord quiet me with His love. Then, when my heart and soul are in His hand, then I hear his singing.

I pray that you will take time to "listen" for God's singing over you. He loves you more than you or I can fathom. And He does sing for you and over you because you are His.
