For several years prior to beginning this text, I had experienced an inward wince over the pride I saw in 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 interior discomfort, I was assigned to teach a class on Moses Tabernacle at a Bible college where I was on staff. In my preparation to teach this class, I began to perceive Gods idea of worship. To my surprise, I found that worship from Gods perspective has nothing to do with musical excellence. Gods 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. As I studied Moses Tabernacle, I began to hear new songs, silent songs. Though previously I had always been the composer of my own worship expression to God, I was awestruck to discover that this absent-of-noise music being written within me was both from God and to God.
