What truth are you listening to?
;
There is so much noise and busyness in the world around us. Often the loudest noises come from inside our head pulling us in many directions and sometimes even pulling us down. When you learn to listen to the voice of truth, you slow down, you know your value and you are able to confidently walk into the world and your day with a positive attitude. You find your purpose in the Truth. Lies and confusion that add doubt to our minds try to bring us down but it the truth we find our voice, our confidence and our joy. Today I will slow down, I will listen for who and whose I am. I will enjoy the moments and appreciate the people around me. I will not listen to negative self talk or doubt. I will be confident, considerate and compassionate. Will you join me?
In this busy season that is mean to be about JOY we often find ourselves dealing with more stress than JOY. Can you slow down for a moment today and notice your value? Your gifts? Your strengths and all you contribute to the world around you? Take a moment to look back at your year all you have done, overcome, accomplished. and all the lives you have impacted in a positive way. Who have you touched, who have you brought a smile or a little joy into their life?
Sometimes people ask me how do you really know the truth? Where do you find it when you feel lost?

One of my favorite songs….The Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns
Casting Crowns \ 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 wavesTo step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He’s holding out His handBut 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!”Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, “Do not be afraid!”
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 truthOh 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 standBut 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 lookin’ down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over meI will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
