GOD'S TREASURY
"The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure" Deut. 28:12
This refers first to the rain. The Lord will give this in its
season. Rain is the emblem of all those celestial refreshings which
the Lord is ready to bestow upon His people. Oh for a copious shower
to refresh the Lord's heritage!
We seem to think that God's treasury can only be opened by a great
prophet like Elijah, but it is not so, for this promise is to all the
faithful in Israel, and, indeed, to each one of them. O believing
friend, "the Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure." Thou, too,
mayest see Heaven opened, and thrust in thy hand and take out thy
portion, yea, and a portion for all thy brethren round about thee. Ask
what thou wilt, and thou shalt not be denied, if thou abidest in
Christ, and His words abide in thee.
As yet thou hast not known all thy Lord's treasures, but He shall
open them up to thine understanding. Certainly thou hast not yet
enjoyed the fullness of His covenant riches, but He will direct thine
heart into His love, and reveal Jesus in thee. Only the Lord himself
can do this for thee; but here is His promise, and if thou wilt
hearken diligently unto His voice, and obey His will, His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus shall be thine.
