Scripture reading
He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.
–John 10:3b-4
Thought of the Day
There is a story about a little girl named Ashley. One day she was talking to her older brother. She was telling him how glad she was that their mother and father had named her Ashley. “Why?” he asked. She replied, “Because that is what everyone calls me.
I love our scripture for today because of two reasons. The first is because I love knowing that Jesus knows my name. The second reason this scripture really grabs me is because of the last few words. I love being able to recognize His voice.
Prayer
Jesus, You are the shepherd and we are Your Sheep. Amen.
