Excerpt from Royal Bounty
'And King Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty.' - I Kings x. 13.
All God's goodness to us is humbling. The more He does for us, the more ready we are to say, 'I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou hast shewed unto Thy servant.' The weight of a great answer to prayer seems almost too much for us. The grace of it is 'too wonderful' for us. It throws up in such startling relief the disproportion between our little, poor, feeble cry, and the great shining response of Gods heart and hand, that we can only say: 'Who am I, O Lord God, that Thou hast brought me hitherto? Is this the manner of man, O Lord God?'
But it is more humbling still, when we stand face to face with great things which the Lord hath done for us and given us, which we never asked at all, 6 never even thought of asking - royal bounty, with which not even a prayer had to do.
