The Voice Of Truth : )

So .....sitting in church this morning, listening to the message as it winds down and I start hearing the trace of a melody coming from the fellowship hall of the church.  I was quite a distance away but I knew instantly that it was My Song.  I leaned over to David and said.....that's my song.  It was Casting Crowns "The Voice of Truth".  LOVE IT.  It's been a theme song of mine for a couple of years....so here are the words.

Oh,what I would do to have

the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name
and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win,
You you'll never win

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
the Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size
to put the giant on the ground
and the waves they don't seem so high
from on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
when I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
The Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the Voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus you are the Voice of truth
And I will listen to you.. oh you are the Voice of truth

YEP......That's me.  It still relates.  It still is needed.  I have climbed out of the boat.  No need to shelter myself there and hide and I am Holding His hand.  And yes the waves are laughing at me.  This illness mocks me at times and tries to zap my joy but my God supplies.
And Yes I am facing Goliath, and I am facing a mighty fight but my God is preparing me.  He has equipped me.  He has prepared prayer warriors to stand beside me.  Yes the Giant laughs at me, but He should be afraid.  Regardless of the outcome....God will be Glorified.  Not the disease, not the illness, not even me.  Don't look at me.  LOOK at GOD!  SERIOUSLY.....LOOK TO GOD!  He will give you strength for the big and small stuff in your life.  He's awesome that way.  OH How I love Him.  
 
Yes .....I get afraid, at times but then I pray.  I listen to the VOICE OF TRUTH, and he speaks PEACE TO MY SOUL.  If you haven't heard this song, google it.  It's beautiful and truely is a theme song for me.  There are not many people at my church that don't know this.  I sing it with the choir.  Love, love, love, IT.  And the part of Jesus singing over me.  Well okay...here's you another memory verse of mine.
 
Zephaniah 3:17  "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.”
 
Heard this read by Travis Cottrell last year at Women of Joy and it stuck with me.  He sings over ME.  My God sings over me.  Wonder what his song is?????  One of love, strength, encouragement and peace.  He will quiet you with HIS LOVE
