Silent Songs of Worship: God's Tabernacle Within Us

For several years prior to beginning this text, I had experienced an inward wince over the pride I saw within myself as a trained musician and worship leader. Each time I received praise from others for the work I was doing, my spirit chafed. Just about the time I began to be able to verbalize my discomfort I was assigned to teach a class on Moses' Tabernacle at a Bible College where I was on staff. In my preparation to begin to teach this class I began to perceive God's idea of worship. To my surprise I found out that worship from God's perspective has nothing to do with musical excellence. God's ultimate intention for worship has little to do with audible music at all, rather it is to create the music of His presence within us. God wants you and I to reverberate with His inaudible music.
