Voice Of Truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of the 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 befoe a giant
With just a Sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Whishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the gian't 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 tell me
Time and time again "boy, you'll neve win!"
"You'll never win"
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves 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

How do you know God's speaking to you. How do you know if You're hearing Him. Maybe He is speaking to You, because nothing can separate us from Him, not even sin. So maybe He is speaking to you when you think you can't hear Him or find Him at all, but You've just taken that for granted your whole life that you don't really...notice it anymore. I'm not saying you don't notice when God is speaking to you. But when you can't seem to hear Him at all, you wonder if He's speaking to you but you just don't hear it.
There may be something in the way of hearing God. Of hearing His will for your life, of seeing Him. God may be speaking to You, but because there's that thing in Your life thats getting in the way...You choose not to hear Him, because you're scared (or don't want to listen) to what you know He will say. Because you have mixed feelings about that thing that's getting in the way. You know you need to give it up to hear God, to commit yourself and surrender totally to Him. But you don't want it to go. You want it so bad, yet you know it's not right, or that's it distracting you way too much. Maybe that's why you're not hearing God.
It's so easy to get confused, and to go to other things other than God to try to sort out that confusion. So often you try to figure it out yourself ... when God's there. You have the Bible, you can pray. So often we don't trust, we doubt. We think nothing can fix whats happening to us. But that's a lie, and that's something Satan is trying us to believe.
There's a greatness inside of you that God wants to unlock. Focus on your own line, cause you have to have a vision for your amazing race that God has planned for you, before you were even born.
12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.
-Philippians 3:12-15
Our call is upward! I have to keep reminding myself that when there's challenges in life we're supposed to meet it, not hate it. It will strengthen my faith, and God has put it in my life for a purpose, and I need to trust.
"and right now ... i think You're whispering."
