I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

(The guy with floatie in the pic is me, minus the facial hair and big nose!)

This song came on the radio last night as I was driving home from a great dinner with a wonderful friend. I started crying after the first verse. I kinda feel like this is us right now...

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'll never win."

We stepped out of the boat, out of our comfort zone and into the realm of the unknown. I just have to remember that that’s where Jesus is, holding out His hand. Another preacher said it this way: (Or at least this is how I remember it, I don’t remember who said it though!)

Peter didn’t start sinking until he looked away. He didn’t start sinking until he took his eyes of Jesus and looked into fear. Fear for him was the wind and rain in the story of Matthew 14. My fear is something different when it comes to our adoption and where we are standing right now on top of the water. I started to sink because I looked into my fear, I took my eyes of Jesus.

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
