S. D. Gordon tells of an old Christian woman whose age began to tell on her memory. She had once known much of the Bible by heart. Eventually only one precious bit 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.” By and by part of that slipped its hold, and she would quietly repeat, “That which I have committed unto him.” As she slipped away, her children noticed her lips moving, and they bent over to hear. She was repeating one word, “him...him...him.” She had lost the whole Bible but one word. But she had the whole Bible in that one word. “The Lord knoweth them that are his.”
