The voice of truth

The Scriptures that are used at the top of this song are:

2 Corinthians 12:7-10
1 Corinthians 1:20-2:4

Let's look at the chorus of this song:

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.

The basic summary of the above verses are that God will work through the weakness in us. That the world will be shamed by our weaknesses or what they consider weak. In the song it tells of two stories. The first is about Peter and Jesus. We all know the story so well where Peter walks on the water. Then he looks around and notices that the waves are huge. He sinks and calls out to the Lord "Save me!". In his weakness the Lord saves him. The next story is that of David and Goliath. Little old Shepard boy David decides that the Lord will win this battle between the weak and what is considered strong. David the underdog in this battle wins. In his weakness the Lord saves him.

God is trying to tell us that he is different than the world. He calls out to us "Fear Not!" for he is with us. With the strength of God brother and sisters nothing is too big for him. He will receive Glory when we humble ourselves and let him work through earthen vessels.
