O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. – Psalm 34:3
A magnifying glass doesn’t make objects bigger.
A magnifying glass makes objects appear bigger.
A magnifying glass can also be used to focus diffuse sunlight onto a single focal point to create a fire that can burn down cities and acres of forest.
That’s what can happen when you magnify the Lord.
It starts in your thinking, and specifically thinking about what the Word says about God.
As you keep meditating on Who He is, your experience and relationship will grow.
As you “exalt His name” and “make your boast in the Lord” (bragging about all the cool things He’s done and how amazing He is), you’ll find the diffuseness of your spiritual reality being focused into a tangible fiery hot flame.
Magnify the Lord. Make a big deal about Who He is and what He’s done. Do it audibly and openly…especially when it feels embarrassing to do so.
There are amazing benefits to doing this.
But really, just do it because it’s what your new nature is wired to do.
Dare to act of who you really are.
And instead of handing your magnifying glass to the world, use it with the WORD to make a big deal about who God is and what He’s done.
