Let Your Alls Be All

"Let your alls be all." We first heard that quote from P. Dick Benjamin in Anchorage, Alaska in 1973. One of those quotes that stick with you for a long time. It's about believing the word of God, having faith in the Living God. Our trust is never offended when we put it in Christ.

"All" is one of those little words that would be easy to overlook when we are reading the Bible, but when we do a double-take with words like that, God is sure to make life come through. I have notebooks full of good quotes from messages we have heard for the last few years and I'm going to paint them in a house some day, probably as a border at the top of a wall in a central room. I think the words of encouragement we hear are worth posting, speaking, living all over the world. Here are just a few of the "all" verses:

"...All authority (ALL power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go then and make disciples of ALL the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you ALL the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age." Matt. 28:18-20

"And ALL the multitude were seeking to touch Him, for healing power was ALL the while going forth from Him and curing them ALL [saving them from severe illnesses or calamities]." Luke 6:19

"We pray that you may be invigorated and strengthened with ALL power according to the might of His glory, to exercise every kind of endurance and patience (perseverance and forbearance) with joy. Col. 1:11

"For His divine power has bestowed upon us ALL things that are requisite and suited to life and godliness, through the full, personal knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence." 2Peter1:3. ALL scriptures are from the Amplified Bible.

Let your ALLS be ALL. Wonder how many more ALL scriptures there are?
