Listening to the Voice of Truth

Speaking of Facing the Giants, I've really been identifying with Grant's character in the movie as he's getting ready to face the actual giants. I'm thinking of the scene where Grant and his wife are eating breakfast together the day of the big game, and he's telling her how one minute he feels like they're gonna get creamed, but the next minute he feels like God is really gonna do something awesome. His wife says, "Sounds like your fear is about to clobber your faith!" That is where we are at right now, in the battle between fear and faith~but we continue to choose to believe God. And whether we "win or lose", we'll praise Him!

The song I posted above really sums it all up~we will listen to His voice rather than our fears and doubts. We believe He has literally told us (as the line in the song says) that "this is for His glory!". Lord, be glorified.

The Voice of Truth

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
To 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'll never win"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And 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 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

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
