I will fill their treasuries!

I will fill their treasuries!

"I will fill their treasuries!" Proverbs 8:21

That is, "I will fill the places where their treasures are kept—their treasuries." Our God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. We are not straitened in Him. If we have not, it is because we ask not—or because we ask amiss . He gives freely, abundantly, and with delight!

Our capacity for receiving is very limited; but if we come as empty vessels to Him—He will fill us out of His fullness in Christ Jesus. He will fill our minds with light, and our hearts with love.

Too often our hearts are preoccupied. There is no room in them for the precious things of God; the vanities of the world, the rubbish of time and sense—fill the space which should hold Divine riches. We must be emptied of self and sin —to be filled with Christ and His grace!

What encouragement does the text afford to those who covet the best gifts! "Open your mouth wide—and I will fill it!" says the great Giver. "I will satisfy your largest desires for spiritual good, in part now—and fully by-and-by. However large your receptacles for durable riches, for heavenly treasure may be—I will fill them!"

"When we come to Christ our King,
  Large petitions we may bring;
  For His power and grace are such,
  We can never ask too much!"

Back to Every Day!
