Let God be magnified
PSALM 70
4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
ARE YOU MAGNIFYING GOD?
What a wonderful verse. Amen.
This psalm of David is to bring to remembrance.
What are we to remember?
We are to remember to seek the Lord
We are told to rejoice in the Lord
We are told to love thy salvation
We are to continually tell everyone about our wonderful God
Are you doing all of the above?
Why are we to do all these things?
Set forth in the last few words of the verse, is the reason.
Let God be magnified.
We are to take a magnifier to the name and the glory of the Lord and to magnify it, to a world that seeks to disregard God. The world seeks to make God smaller, but it is our role to magnify the name and glory of the Lord.
By your life, are you magnifying the Lord or making him smaller? Your life, will either draw people to God or drive them away from Him.
If we do the four things listed above, then we will surely magnify our God.
God bless

Psalm 118
6The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can [mere] man do to me?
The majority of One
Christians in the world today are in the minority, it seems we are outnumbered, but one person with God is in the majority
Many people in the bible have been outnumbered Joshua, Gideon and Abraham were hopelessly outnumbered, but they succeeded because God was on their side.
Look at the odds that Gideon had, 300 against thousands and yet he won.
The reformation study bible says this about this verse
118:6 The Lord is on my side. This is the heart of the covenant of grace: God siding with His redeemed. The implication for the psalmist is that he has nothing to fear from anyone because God is in control. Victory is not guaranteed by superior forces or weapons; it is a gift from God.
This verse downplays the power of Man and extols the power of God and this is how we are to look at every situation, we are in a majority, because God is on our side
Thanks God
