Hello Everyone
Magnify God. I have a very cool magnifying glass that has an inbuilt light. It both magnifies and illuminates everything. When I take my magnifying glass and run it across printed words for example, I both enlarge the print, and shed light on the words which creates a depth of field, sharpening the focus of what I am reading. The magnified view changes the way I see and read the words.
King David penned Psalm 34:3 “magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together” in the shadow of death, having been relentlessly pursued by Saul. David’s expression of praise in magnifying God was, however, a declaration that to magnify God was to embrace a fresh perspective where he knew God was greater than every threat, every fear, and every circumstance of his life. To magnify God was to bring a depth of field that bought God into sharp focus and blurred the distinctiveness and distraction of threat. He made God bigger than everything he was experiencing.
Just as a magnifying glass enlarges things, when we magnify God, or bring God to bear on our circumstances by running God’s truth over anything that threatens our lives, we no longer see things from an earthly perspective; we see all things from God’s angle. We invite God to be God and to be bigger than all we encounter. We take the light of God’s word and illuminate everything through the lens of God magnified.
When we look in the face difficulty, magnify God and stare it down. When life is peachy, magnify God and take another bite of the fruit. No matter what path we walk the only way to go is to magnify God.
So, friends, get your “magnify God” on today.
Best days to come.
