The Opened Treasury and the Bags

“If a mighty king sho7ild open his heastire, and bid 7nen come and brifig their bags, and take as much as they wotdd; do you think they zuould neglect this occasion of gai?i? Surely 710; they would run and fetch bag after bag, and fiever cease. Thus doth the Lord act towards us in the cove?ia?it of grace” He makes over all its fulness to his people, and saith, “All are yours.” We are not straitened in him. The bags will come to an end long before the treasure is exhausted. Let us come, then, to the throne of grace with enlarged desires and widened expectations: the Lord does not stint us, why should we put ourselves upon short commons? “He saith, eat and drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.” Why, then, do we sit at the table and starve, or rise from it hungry? Let us by faith suck of the abundance of the sea of grace, and partake largely of the hid treasure which the Lord has laid up for us.
