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!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
