Get hold of God's treasure!
by Spurgeon
Prayers are heard in heaven very much in proportion to our faith.
Little faith will get great mercies, but great faith still greater.
It was the custom in old times for all the poor in the parish
to call at every house with bowls for provisions; and whatever
size the bowl was, every generous person would fill it.
Faith is our 'bowl'.
If we have only "little faith," we shall get that filled;
but if we have "great faith," we shall have that filled also.
Little faith gets much; but great faith is a noble and princely
merchant and does a great trade -- it obtains millions where
little faith only gains hundreds.
'Great faith' gets hold of God's treasure!
