When we hear the words, ‘My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me,’ there are a few things that jump out.
Wisdom

King Solomon is remembered for his Wisdom and today’s First Reading tells us how he asked for Wisdom from God; and no only was he granted wisdom, but earthly wealth also. I will say it was earthly wisdom that is spoken of here, because he wanted to excel in governing the people.
Choice

King David in the First Reading chooses to do as ‘he’ thinks right. He wants to number the people, i.e. take a census. On the surface it looks like a nice decision, but his actions talk differently. His actions now show his transfer of confidence, now not on God, but in the strength of a fighting force he can muster by enlisting able youth in the military. Yahweh as Father, corrects him.
Listen, the Lord Calls Out To You

The standout point in todays Bible Readings is that we are presented a God who seeks us.
