“God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath” (Heb 6:17). William P. White, one-time editor of Biola’s monthly magazine The King’s Business, tells this story about his early days in ministry. One morning he received a request to visit a dying 87-year-old saint by the name of Junkins. When he entered the room, the old believer, with distress in his voice, said, “For years I’ve been feasting on the promises of God, but this morning when I woke up, I couldn’t remember one of them. What shall I do?” White cried out to the Lord for an answer, and immediately it came to him: “Father Junkins, do you think that God will forget any of His promises?” White adds, “I shall always remember the sweet smile that came over the face of the old saint as he looked up at me. ‘Praise God,’ he said. ‘That is wonderful! He will remember them, won’t He!’” In a few hours he had gone home to be with the Promiser.
