How Much More!

"How much more" ... these few words resonated in my ears powerfully when I was reading in the book of Luke. Jesus repeatedly said it and every time, it confirmed the perfect knowledge He has towards us and towards our needs.
It right away made me think: Lord,
"What is man that You are mindful of him?"
Ps.8:4

How much more according to the dictionary you use 'much' to indicate the great intensity, extent, or degree of something such as an action, feeling, or change.

And according to Strong's Concordance, it is used to elevate the better over the good. (The more important over the less-important)

How much more means how great, to a greater degree.

In Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, 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!”

And compared to Matthew 7:11 it says: how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

If a good parent with his limited love, limited heart, is able to give the necessary to their children. How much more the unlimited God, can give from His unlimited riches in glory to the one who ask Him?
The best and most excellent gift of all: The Holy Spirit!!!

How much more here means that He is ready to bestow this gift on you, and willing to, sooner than you expect and faster that you would imagine.

The Father will give the Holy Spirit, a great gift without measures! A gift that does not perish, that does not expire and that only enables you to go from power to power, from glory to glory, from better to greater, all in Him and through Him and for Him!


Then Jesus goes on and says: But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.Luke 12:7

If those sparrows who are the least of the birds, the cheapest and the less wanted, were so much valued in the eyes of the Lord! Can you imagine you, HOW MUCH MORE, you would be valued in the eyes of the One who loves you?

You are God's specialty. He cares for you more than you ever care for yourself. That's why FEAR NOT. When the danger is here, fear not. When the problems are overwhelming you, fear not. When challenges are around you, fear not. Because Jesus doesn't forget you and has not forgotten you. And never will forget His Words!

Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?
Luke 12:24

Jesus goes on and keeps repeating again and again: how much more, you who reads this now, are more valuable to His heart?
Again the ravens here at that time were so much disregarded by men, according to the law, they were unclean. But! God takes care of them and provides them food.

How much more God's own people would be taken care of?

If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? Luke 12:28

God is calling you not to pursue the things of the world, but to get deeply into a rich relationship with Him.
If you have the same eyes of God to value things rightly, you would value holiness, perfection in Christ, and hunger and thirst for righteousness, then the luxurious life, the things of the world won't be your desires. Your desire would be one thing, is to stay at His feet, to dwell in His presence and do His will.

If God takes care of the grass that is weak and dies quickly then is thrown away and burnt... can you imagine how MUCH MORE and in more excellent way He cares for you and your soul?

You little faith, He said. Because He desires your trust in Him over anxiety and fear of this present world.

Trust in Him who provides all things and good things. Fear not. He cares for you.
