Jehovah
For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. Deuteronomy 2:7
Jehovah, the premortal Christ, knew every step Israel took through the wilderness and stayed with them for forty years so that they lacked nothing. He knows our wilderness walk too.
