My little addition to Our Daily Bread (9/6/12):
The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The doorkeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
(John 10:2-3 HCSB)
The magic of someone who knows you by name is just something special. Until my wife says my name, I too “zone out” (much like Joe Stowell confessed in today’s ODB). The amazing part of following Him is not only that we recognize His voice (even in the midst of the noise vying for our attention and allegiance), but that He chooses to call me by name so that I not only hear His voice, but listen. I am so very thankful that He loves me enough to awaken me from my stupor – may I be tuned in enough to hear His voice in the noise (1 Kings 19:11-13).
