Jacob said, “The God which fed me [shepherded, JND] me all my life long unto this day” (Gen. 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; 108:1).
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.
