(by Pastor Jean)

“So, if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Luke 11:13; NLT). Of course, we know the answer to the question, God is so much more reliable than we are and will of course give the Holy Spirit to all who ask. In Luke chapter 12, Jesus is telling His disciples not to worry about food. He uses the example of the birds and how God takes care of feeding them and then He says, “How much more valuable are you than the birds!” (Luke 12:24; AMP). Then a few verses later, He is telling them not to worry about clothes and uses the example of grass and again says, “How much more will He clothe you?” (Luke 12:28; AMP). God takes care of our every need. Paul also uses this phrase in Romans 5:20, “For if the many died by the transgression of one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ overflow to the many!” (NIV). Paul was comparing the grace of God to Adam’s sin and showing how much more powerful God’s grace is. We serve a much more God but if you are still doubtful about that then read 2 Cor 9:8, “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others” (NLT). We are told in Genesis 17:1 that God is El Shadai (The God who is more than enough). That is who we serve. How much more should we trust Him?
