Hearing His Voice #317

You surround me with songs of victory.

Psalm 32:7

It’s a beautiful thought. Somewhere beyond our physical senses, we are surrounded with songs of victory. In our most confining captivities, our spirits are hearing words of deliverance. We don’t know exactly what that means—Is God Himself singing over us? Are choruses of angels musically declaring the fulfillment of our hopes?—but somehow it’s true. Those who have made God their hiding place are, despite what their senses say, being treated to a victory celebration before experiencing the victory.

This is one answer to our periodic lament that God doesn’t speak to us. We may not perceive His voice sometimes, but that doesn’t mean He isn’t being vocal. He speaks in spirit realms even when our spirits aren’t tuning in. He whispers to our hearts even when our minds aren’t very observant. He blesses us even when we feel that the day’s events are cursed. At a spiritual level, we don’t have to be conscious of everything that’s going on for it to be effective. God can declare victories we don’t yet know we even need. And He can surround us with songs of deliverance that no human ear can hear.

Ask Him to let your heart tune in to the songs of deliverance He is singing. If you have made Him your hiding place and are trusting in His shelter, pray from the middle of your battles to hear the news of victory. Pray also that the enemy of your soul would hear the songs of the Warrior who fights on your behalf. Let the adversary tremble while you take courage. These songs carry authority and cause the enemy to flee. They can’t be drowned out by the din of the battle. They will accomplish your deliverance and put a melody in your heart.

Mighty God, my Warrior, sing loudly. Let me hear. Direct your angels to join in the chorus. Sing victories and deliverance over me. And encourage me to always remember that when I sing during my battles, I’m not alone. I’m singing along with a powerful, invincible tune.
