HE KNOWS MY NAME!

HE KNOWS MY NAME!

John 10:1-4

10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

           Do you like your name? It’s surprising how many people don’t like the name they were given. But God likes your name and has it memorized. When he thinks of you he thinks of you by name! When Moses approached the burning bush on the back side of the desert the voice of God called out to him using his name.

           Today the Creator of Heaven and Earth knows you well. He knows not only your name but He is aware of your location and your circumstances. He knows your pain and what makes you happy. The secrets of your heart are not hidden from Him.

           As we spend time with Him we learn his voice and we learn to trust Him and to follow Him. His daily provision becomes routine. He is not a God far off but a God who is as close as the beating of our heart. He has already paved the way for this day. “When he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them.” (Verse 4)

Dear Lord, thank you for leading the way throughout this day. AMEN
