(Acts 10:46a)…..For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. (Psalm 34:3)…..Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.
In the New Testament, the word translated “magnify” is the Greek word “megaluno.” It means to make great or enlarge. We certainly cannot make God any greater, but we can perceive Him as greater in our lives. In other words, what we think of God can be enlarged.
When Scripture talks of magnifying God, we assume it meant they were praising God and talking of His greatness and goodness. Which can be true. Does God seem big and capable in your thinking? If not, then magnify Him! Do the problems you face seem like giants? Then remove your attention and focus from the problems (de-magnify them ) and focus on the Lord. To shrink the problem, magnify the solution.
The more you think about a problem you are facing, the larger it can seem. The more you think about God, what He has created, and all He has done, the smaller the problem will look compared to God.
God IS greater than any problem or any situation you face. You just need to realize it and quit letting the problem be your focus.
Praise God and magnify Him
