We become very intimately acquainted with the sounds of our family members that we often can tell which person is coming in the room by the way they cough, clear their throat, or even the sound of their walk.
We know all their little noises.
This is how we should be with Jesus.
We should be so aware of His presence in our lives that it’s easy to recognize Him. He is our Good Shepherd and He wants to be intimately acquainted with each of His sheep.
Just like shepherds know their flock, Jesus knows us. He calls us by name and leads us out of bondage, out of unbelief, out of fear, out of insecurity, and out of hopelessness.
He leads us to freedom in Him. He goes ahead of us, paving the way. He calls us by name and desires for us to be so intimately acquainted with Him that we can sense His leading in every area of our lives.
He wants us to know and recognize His movements, promptings, and presence.
Every moment, every situation, we encounter should be a direct reflection of Jesus to us. We should seek to see Him in all we do, so that we can see Him working.
Nothing in life is a coincidence. He is in all things. Look for His presence.
