Listen from:
ER 48:7{It is only the continual drawing from His good treasure that will profit us, even "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." "And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us." It is only with God-given treasure that we can enrich others. When we want to give a word to another, it generally seems to come with more power if, instead of casting about for what we think likely to suit them, we simply hand over to them any treasure word which He has freshly given to us. When He opens to us some shining bit of treasure, let us not forget, "Freely ye have received, freely give." Also, let us not stand idly waiting for some further opening of treasure but "let there be search made in the king's treasure house," in the house of the rolls where the treasures are laid up, where the decrees and records of our King are to be found. They are truly hidden riches. Neither must we trust in our own store of spiritual treasures, whether of memory, experience, or even grace.
His love is the key and His glory the measure
Of grace all-abounding and knowledge and light;
To thee shall be opened this infinite treasure,
To thee, the unsearchable riches of Christ.
