The Lord Is Not Slow About His Promises
By Charles L. Paddock, Signs of the Times, June 14, 1932.
When the great explorer Shackleton was on his quest for the South Pole, he
was at one time driven back, and was compelled to leave some of his men on
Elephant Island, though he promised that he would return for them. But when
he endeavored to get back, he found a sea of ice between him and the island.
What should he do? He had promised, and he must keep his word. He tried to
reach them, but failed. He tried again and again, but without success.
Beyond the ice were his trusting companions, who had every confidence in
him. They had only a few supplies with them. At that time of the year it
seemed folly to hope for any favorable change in the weather, and he was
told that there was absolutely no hope of getting his little boat, the
"Yalcho," through the great ice barrier to Elephant Island.
He could not be inactive. He must reach his men; so at the risk of losing
his boat and the lives of his crew, he pushed in nearer to the island; and
unexpectedly there came an opening in the ice. He hurried in, rescued his
men, and in an hour was back again with all on board. Had they been delayed
only a few minutes, their frail vessel would have been destroyed by the
crashing of the ice as it closed in.
When they were sure they were beyond danger and the nervous tension was
over, Shackleton said to one of the rescued companions, "Well, you were
packed and ready, weren't you?" "Yes," came back the reply, "we never lost
hope. We believed you would come for us, even though circumstances were
unfavorable. You had promised, and we expected you; so each morning we
rolled up our sleeping bags and packed all our equipment, that we might be
ready." And now they were all safe and homeward bound, happy that they had
been prepared daily.
Before Jesus departed from this world, He left a definite promise in John
14:1-4. The Lord is not slack concerning His promises.
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance." -2 Peter 3:9
"Die Here vertraag nie die belofte soos sommige dit vertraging ag nie, maar
Hy is lankmoedig oor ons en wil nie hê dat sommige moet vergaan nie, maar
dat almal tot bekering moet kom." -2 Peter 3:9

It Must Be Settled Tonight
Author: Unknown
The burly miner blinked as he left the dark interior of the coal mine.
Stopping at a faucet near the mine entrance, he washed the worst of the
grime from his face and hands, then headed towards his home on the outskirts
of the village. As he trudged along the dusty lane, he passed the open door
of a little church. Inside, a small crowd listened intently as an energetic
man gesticulated from the pulpit. Interested, the miner stepped to the door.
"Absolute surrender is what we must have," the minister was saying. "Are you
willing to surrender yourself absolutely into His hands? If not, you are
not ready to meet your God." The minister paced back and forth on the
platform. "We do not know how much longer our life on earth will last.
Tonight you are living; tomorrow may be too late. Ask yourself, I beg of
you, 'Am I ready to meet the Lord?'"
The miner, touched to the quick, slipped into the back pew. I am not ready
to meet God, he thought. I have lived a careless, godless life. How can I
make peace with Him? The meeting ended, and the people filed out. Still
the miner remained in the pew, his head in his hands.
Finally, the minister touched him on the shoulder. "Sir, are you ready to
meet the Lord?"
Blindly, the miner shook his head. "I know I am not. Oh, help me find
peace!"
An hour passed as the minister shared the plan of salvation; yet something
held the miner back from full surrender.
"It's getting late," the minister said. "Go home, and continue to seek the
Lord."
The miner shook his head. "Stay with me a little longer; it must be settled
tonight."
"Then we shall stay here together," the minister agreed. Once more he spoke
of Jesus, and shared promise after promise. Once more he prayed, but in
vain. "I must go," the minister finally said. "It will soon be morning. Go
home, and return tomorrow night. Maybe then you will find peace."
"Sir, I cannot leave this place until I find peace."
The poor man's voice trembled. "Tomorrow may be too late. It must be settled
tonight."
The minister could not resist his appeal. "By the help of God," he said, "it
shall be settled tonight."
Again he explained the steps of conversion; again he prayed. As he spoke,
the miner broke into sobs and tears. The light had shone through and
pierced his darkness.
"I see it!" he cried. "I give myself absolutely to Jesus, to His will, to do
only what He wants. He paid the price for my sins. It is settled. Praise
His name, it is settled!" The two men knelt again, but this time they
thanked God for bringing light to a sinner.
The next morning the miner went to work as usual. He was sent to a distant
part of the mine to gather some tools. When he did not return, his fellow
workers went to look for him. They found that the mine walls had caved in,
and he was buried in the debris. Working with pick and shovel, they began to
dig. From the fragments of rock and rubbish and stone, which hid him from
sight, came his fading voice: "Tonight ---- would have been ---- too late.
Thank God ---- it was settled ---- last night!"
------Are you ready to meet the Lord?------
The Apostle Paul wrote the Church at Rome,
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." -Romans
8:1
Therefore;
No Jesus, No peace!
Know Jesus, know peace!
