how much more


Trusting God is not something we do every now and then.  It is a daily matter.  Yet there are people that lean on things not meant to be trusted.  We trust ourselves or human wisdom or a friend who makes promises or money.

You get the point.  As I had this thought I ran across some Scripture.  Honestly I ran across it in my memory.  I believe God put these verses on my heart.  Think about who we trust and the fact that we can trust God.  He is able.

Luke 12:28  NASB
But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!

God will provide for us like nothing else or no one else can.

Matthew 12:12  NASB
How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

That is the passage about the man who leaves his 99 sheep to go find the one whom is lost.  Then, this verse reminds us that we are valuable to God.  It is a fact.

Hebrews 9:14  NLT
Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.

We try to make things in our lives right when all goes wrong.  But God does a much better job correcting things and even correcting us.  That is His plan and the reason why He sent Jesus.

2 Corinthians 3:9  NIV
If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!

What consumes our thinking or the thinking of the people around us?  If we allow God’s thoughts and ways to have more clout than anything else, we will be strong and will believe what God days.

All of these verse hold that special phrase.  “How much more” … it describes the fact that we can trust God.  How much more than anything or anyone else!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
