MY BLESSING FOR TUESDAY
God Knows Your Name “I have called you by name, and you are mine.” I sa ia h 43:1
LONG AGO, SHEPHERD BOYS CARED FOR BIG FLOCKS OF SHEEP.
It was their job to take the sheep to pastures where they could eat. Every morning, the shepherds called their sheep by name. “Hurry up, Dexter. Get a move on, Sadie. Good boy, Alexander.” There were so many names to remember, but the shepherds knew them all. God cares for people like a good shepherd. He knows the names of everyone on earth. Can you imagine knowing everybody’s name? And God never forgets a name. He made everyone, and He knows exactly who they are. When God looks down from heaven and sees you, He doesn’t say, “Look at that kid over there.” He calls you by name.
Count how many times you hear your name today. Whenever you hear it, remember that God knows your name and He loves you.
