Your Name – Isaiah 43:1
|
But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you.
O Israel, the one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.”
Isaiah 43:1 (New Living Translation)
But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
Isaiah 43:1 (New International Version)
But now, God’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,
the One who got you started, Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.
I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
Isaiah 43:1 (The Message)
Have you ever been in a crowded store and all of sudden you hear you name called over all the noise. You strain to look to the direction where you heard your name. The Lord says I have called by your name and you are mine. Look to him today. He truly loves you.

I Have heard my name called out in several different instances. Once when I was blow drying my hair, I could have sworn my brother’s voice had called out my name. When I went down stairs to ask my father, I relized my brother had left 2 days before with our Mom on a raod trip out of town. another instance I was in a crowede room & heard my name softly spoken next to my ear. I turned & no-one was there. I’ve even been woken from a sound sleep to hearing my name called. A few times while I was napping & other times from deep sleep after going to bed for the night. I heard my name called softly at first & then with conviction & I sat straight up in bed. I had the sense that I was being compeled to read my Bible & to pray. Fear has set into my bones at other times when I’ve heard my name, becuase the other times I’ve heard it it was soft, gentle & urgentcy in the tone. All the times I’ve heard my name being called here at home while napping or sleeping I’ve been alone.
