I Know Their Voice

It's amazing to me that there are over 6 billion people on this planet and each of us has a different voice. Every one of us can easily identify the sound of our parents, childrens and spouses voices. For each of us, they are distinct and easily recognizable. Isn't it cool? When my children call me, they don't have to tell me who they are because I KNOW THEIR VOICE.

Today, I witnessed something so extremely precious, I nearly cried. I attended Josh and Trista's wedding this afternoon, at which Summer was singing. She asked me if I would hold Will for her during the wedding as she needed to sit up front. Naturally, I was tickled to do so.

I sat in the back of the church and kept Will occupied throughout the service. I sat him in the floor and out of the diaper bag, he grabbed 2 diapers and literally played with them almost the entire service. He never stopped picking up and dropping those diapers and kept himself completely occupied and wasn't paying attention to anything else at all until something happened............

His momma began to sing. He heard her voice and the moment he did, he stopped what he was doing, looked straight to the front of the church and listened intently. He got completely still and simply listened. He was "fixed" on her voice. It was so incredibly precious.

I thought about how the Lord must do the same thing. We speak and he tunes His ear to all of us and says.........I KNOW THEIR VOICE! Man, is that good or what???? He focuses in on each of us when we speak and He "intently" listens to us just like little Will did to his momma.

I KNOW THEIR VOICE He says.......let that sink in a few minutes......HE KNOWS YOUR VOICE!!! I like that, I really like that. Tonight, as I lay my head down and thank Him for this day and everything else I have to be thankful for.....I will ponder the miraculous fact that He knows "my" voice:)))
