Voice of Truth

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

The Christian song "Voice of Truth" could also be called I am God's Success Story. When society believes glamorous people all over the cover of magazins and politicians making headlines is success or that success is measured by the bottom line number of your bank account that society has bcome materialistic and shallowed minded. I'm sure you would agree with me that America has become both.

Jeremiah is one of my favorite prophts of the Bible. The society he lived in sounds so much like ours and he wanted them to understand God was the only person that they should seek to please. Jeremiah 17:5-10 from the NIV says, "This is what th Lord says: 'Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will b like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.' The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? 'I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.'"

Yesterday as my brother and me discuessed our world's measure of success he said, "Many people think that success is holding the wold in your hand. Success doesn't have to be the whole world. The little world you do hold is all that matters if it makes you happy and you love it, then you are successful."

The lyrics of "Voice of Truth" tell a story of a child of God being told he does not matter, he is a failure, and he is a loser. As a child of God we are victorious over all our adveristies if only we choose to believe the Voice of Truth.

Voice of Truth

"Oh what I would do to have the kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat and then onto the crashing waves. To step out of my comfort zoned to the relm of the unknown to 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 tried befoe and failed. The waves 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, the voice of truth says do not be afraid and the voice of truth says this is for my glory....."

This is the first verse and part of the chorus.....
