“Him”
Don Fortner

Many years ago, I read about an old woman, a believer, whose age began to take its toll on her, especially on her memory. At one time, she knew much of the Bible by heart. Eventually, only one precious, little portion stayed with her: “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” Soon, part of that slipped from her mind as well. She would be found often quietly repeating what she could of the text. Family and friends would hear her going over it again and again. —”That which I have committed unto Him.” Just before she slipped out into glory, her children noticed her lips moving, and they bent over to hear what she was saying. She was repeating just one word, “Him...Him...Him.” She had lost the whole Bible, but one word. Yet, she had the whole Bible in that one word, — “Him.” The Book of God is all about “Him.” We come together to worship “Him.” We must know, trust and love “Him.” Oh, may God the Holy Spirit set our hearts on “Him.”
