Magnifying God

    Good morning!! Today is another opportunity to prove to the world that doing God's will really is the best way to thrive!! Consider these verses as you go about your day:

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:1-2 NKJV)

“I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall makes its boast in the LORD; the humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.” (Psalm 34:1-3 NKJV)

    When we magnify God we declare His greatness! What descriptive words come to mind when you think of God?

    Glorious, Magnificent, Majestic, Loving, Merciful, Holy, Patient, Pure, Powerful…

How Can We Magnify God In Our Daily Walk?

•         Sanctify God in Your Hearts - Determine to seek God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind (Matthew 22:37, 1 Peter 3:15). Renew this determination every day!
•          Read His Word - How can we know God without reading His Word? Dig in! (Psalm 119:11-16, 17-18)
•          Pray - Get comfortable communicating with Him! Never give up on prayer! (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
•          Grow Your Gratitude - The more you tune your focus to appreciating the blessings you receive from God, the more likely you are be able to say, “His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm 34:1, I Thessalonians 5:18)
•          Bear the Fruit of the Spirit - Our actions indicate who we belong to. If we bear the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), everyone will know we belong to God (John 15:1-8, 1 Peter 2:11-12)!
•          Make Mention of Him - If our heart is filled with God’s Word, if we talk with Him daily, are thankful for everything, and we are bearing fruit, the natural outgrowth will be to declare His greatness to others! “...For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45). People you interact with are bound to ask you about your positive and patient attitude, your loving and helpful nature, and your firm faith (1 Peter 3:15). Give God the glory!! Magnify His greatness!

    God is worthy of our praise! God’s greatness is worthy to be magnified!! What can you do today that will allow you, like Mary, to say, “My soul magnifies the Lord” (Luke 1:46)? Magnify Him today!!

You can do it!! So can I!!
