“Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” --Psalm 34:3
As many followers of Christ have been in deep prayer for our nation, God is showing Himself strong on behalf of those that fear Him. In a time of great deception, where many have lost the fear of God and would stoop to any level imaginable as a wolf among God's sheep, the LORD of Hosts is asking His people to see Him for who He is!
A few years back during one of our ministry assignments, the Holy Spirit quickened Psalm 34:3. This is a favorite scripture to lean into at all times, especially in the times we are living in right now. As we revisit this post from November of 2015, our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would speak and illuminate the hearts and lives of His people with His timeless truth.
“How my people see me affects everything in their lives”. - God's Voice To His People
Here are the words of admonition and challenge to us as followers of Christ in 2024 Have we made our Almighty God too small in our understanding? Psalm 34: 3 is not implying that we make God big; because we cannot make Him big. Nothing we do will ever make God big. He already is big and will always be! However, this scripture is calling us to an understanding of seeing God big. Take the example of a telescope that is used to look at a star that is way out in the sky. The telescope does not make the star bigger but it helps us to see the star big. In similar way, we cannot make God bigger, but we are to see Him bigger, for Who God Is!
Beloved brothers and sisters, God calls us to magnify Him, to see Him big. The bigger God is seen in our lives, the greater the effect of His presence and His power that works in and through us. Come and let us magnify our God!
In Christ's Love,
