Jacob said, “The God which fed me [shepherded, JND] me all my life long unto this day” (Gen. 48:1515And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, (Genesis 48:15)). Just recently I’ve connected that with what John says about the fathers: “Ye have known Him that is from the beginning.” Here I am nearly 85 years old, and looking back I can see it was this same One who led me into a path unknown to me even He was scarcely known to me. Yet day by day, year by year, little by little, He led me till now I say, “There is none beside Thee.” My heart, being perfectly satisfied, says as David did three times, “My heart is fixed” (Psa. 57:7; 108:17My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. (Psalm 57:7)
1<<A Song or Psalm of David.>> O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. (Psalm 108:1)).
He alone is able to fill and satisfy our hearts in our pathway here. Then the glorious end of the journey is to be fully like Him in the Father’s house above. Paul counted “all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.” May we too find our all in all in Him.
