God's Overflowing Gift
Sunday Companion
2 Chronicles 1:7-12
In that night did God appear to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.…


When the ice breaks up in Russia, the Czar goes in state to drink of the river Neva, and having drunk, it was long the custom for the Czar to return the cup to his attendants full of gold; but year by year it became so much larger that at length a stipulated sum was paid instead of the old penalty. But, however large the vessel we bring to God, and however much it increases in capacity with the discipline of years, God will make it to overflow with that peace and faith and love and joy which is better than much fine gold.
