In this lyric video, the ‘Voice Of Truth’ by Casting Crowns and Steven Curtis Chapman instills faith and trust in the ultimate Anchor in any storm.
Trusting God when facing the giant of fear takes a tremendous amount of faith. In life, circumstances will test us and stretch our faith in ways we never thought possible. One song reminds us to drown out the voices of shame, guilt, and fear in favor of listening to God’s truth.
The lyrics paint a picture of what must’ve been like to be Peter staring out at the water and questioning His Savior when he was commanded to get out of the boat. Was Peter scared or filled with doubt? Or did he have complete faith in Jesus? The songwriter then poses a question for all of us, do we trust God enough to step out of our comfort zone? Are we brave enough to ignore the voices of doubt and embrace the voice of truth?
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.
What I love most about this song is how the songwriter reminds us that belief isn’t something we have or don’t have. Belief is a choice. This choice is something we exercise when the waves seem to be crashing down. By choosing to believe, we remember God is in control.
It gives us the freedom to surrender the outcome to God, knowing that no matter what happens, it’s all for God’s glory. The beautiful part of this song is how we are reminded that we are mere humans. We will make mistakes. We will fail. But we can try again.
As the lyrics in this video remind us, no matter what giants we face, we will conquer them in the name of the Lord. It will be for his glory and strengthen our faith.
James 1:2 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”
