Within its first year, a dolphin develops a unique signature whistle which is the equivalent of its name; it uses this to identify itself to other dolphins. Adults are adept at copying the cries of other dolphins as if calling them by name. This is a fact backed up by a research study in Scotland which concluded that dolphins respond when another dolphin calls out their name.

An American research study concluded that dolphins recognize other dolphins even if they lost contact many years previously. One experiment proved that they could still remember each other’s whistle even after being apart for twenty years. Dolphins are socially complex mammals, and these social bonds with family and friends are very important.

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me..." John 10:27 

Question: Are you listening for that still, small voice today; the voice of the One Who knows you by name? Sometimes, the volume of the world around us can all but drown out the whisper of the Holy Spirit. Let's ask our Heavenly Father to help us to really listen for His leading.

Have a great day and God bless!
