A Weekly Devotional from Max Lucado

Ready for Home
by Max Lucado

General William Nelson was a Union general in the Civil War. Though he
faced death every day, he never prepared for his own. Who knows what he
was thinking as he rode into battle after battle? Maybe he was too busy
staying alive to prepare for death.

All that changed, however, one day as he was relaxing in a house with
his men. A brawl broke out, and he was shot in the chest. Knowing he was
dying, he had only one request: "Send for a clergyman."

What had happened? Why the urgency? Did the general suddenly learn
something about God that he had never known? No. But he did learn
something about himself. He realized death was near. Suddenly only one
thing mattered.

Why hadn't it mattered before? Couldn't he have said yes to God the week
before or that very morning? Absolutely. Why didn't he? Why was the
salvation of his soul so urgent after the shot and so optional before
it? Why had he postponed his decision to accept Christ until his
deathbed?

Because he assumed he had time.

A dangerous assumption. "Teach us how short our lives really are,"
prayed Moses, "so that we may be wise" (Ps. 90:12).
