Prayer, Answer Promised: Taking The King At His Word
It is related that a servant, having done good service for
Alexander the Great, in a fit of gratitude, the king desired him to go
to the public treasury and claim any sum of money he thought fit. The
man did so, but asked a sum so vast that the treasurer stood aghast.
"Why, you would empty the treasury!" he exclaimed. The man's sole
reply was, "Alexander promised." This plea, he continued to urge, till
at last the treasurer appealed to his sovereign. "Give him what he
asks," was Alexander's command. He treats me as a king in taking me at
my word." --Topical Illustrations
