Psalm 40:16-Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let such as love Your salvation say continually, “The Lord be magnified!”

That word; magnified, somehow struck a chord with me as I read this verse. In the dictionary, I see it means to intensify; increase the size of; to cause to seem greater or more important. More important than what? More important than anything or anyone. Let those who love Your salvation say continually, the Lord is bigger than that!

What is it you’ve made bigger than God? I urge you to take a look at what you’ve given more attention than Him. Is it your body? Has your body been screaming for attention saying, “You’ll never walk again!” I have news for you; He made the lame walk and the blind see. Is your check book screaming for attention saying, “You won’t have enough to pay your bills or make it to the end of the month!” I have news for you; He will supply for all your needs according to HIS riches in Christ Jesus. Let’s give more attention to His Word and what that entitles us to. Let’s magnify God!

Stop listening to the lies of your enemy! Stop giving so much attention to things that will change from day to day and start focusing on the plans and promises of God. Psalm 71:21 says, “You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.”  What about Genesis 26:13, “The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous.” Now THAT’s magnification of Gods blessing. I like to say it like this; And Sandy began to prosper, and continued prospering until she became very prosperous. The promises of God are for me and you, let’s not continually speak the problem but speak the promise.

Come and magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together (Psalm 34:3). Don’t let another day go by where the problem is larger than the problem solver!
