Magnify the Lord

-



“Oh, magnify the Lord with me and exalt his holy name together (Psalm 34:3).” Here the palmist encourages us to praise God; you will find David’s personal testimony as the beginning of the text unfolds (Psalm 34:1-3). The word magnify Heb.(gadal) literally means to make large in body, mind, estate…... to bring up, exceed. Think of looking at something small through a magnifying glass then it appears larger through the glass lens. The glass makes it appear bigger yet it maintains its size. To demonstrate and associate God using the magnifying glass we know that God cannot appear larger because He is already bigger than we could ever imagine. How great is our God? His greatness surpasses man’s understanding. God is greater than all situations and troubles, He’s greater than all our fears; His greatness can be accounted through many actions of miracles presented throughout the Bible. If we trust Him, He is well able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think. We have to continue to focus on God’s power and look through the magnifying glass in the eyes of God, we can be sure of God’s greatness. We will make Him bigger than any doubt, unbelief, sickness, or hardships and worship Him for what He will do on our behalf. Greatness comes from depending completely on God and allowing Him to guide us as we move forward in life. David prayers helped silence his fears, let us become more like David and blessed the Lord at all times….and exalt his name together.



  Prayer: Father we worship and praise You for the most precious gift that You have given us in Your Son Jesus Christ.  We thank You for showing up in power and working in our situations. Because of Your greatness we magnify Your name for You are worthy. Help us to keep our faith alike. We thank You that Your presence in our lives is not just mere words; make us doers and not just hearers only of Your Word. In Jesus Name, we pray. Amen.

God is the Architect

Hello Beloveds, I know it has been a while since I have written a post, I've been on a sort of blog-hiatus. I've been spending time soul searching, reflecting, and in hope and eager expectation of rebuilding my new endeavors from the last chapter to my next one. After brainstorming, I had to prioritize my life-values goals and assess my life's purpose. Regardless of who or where you are one must prioritize discovering their purpose in life. Psalm 57:2 (AMP) says, I cry out to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf for He completes my purposes. We must trust God's divine plan and let Him be our guide knowing God is the Chief Architect and Master Builder of everything. God will take us through construction sites to shape us for His purposes. God sees the big picture. He knows the plans that He has for us, He has a specific plan for each one of us. God’s plan for our life must be consulted with the chief architect, God Himself; the designer, and

Today's Reflection-Wounds of Gossip

Once upon a time, an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested and put behind bars for no fault of his own. Days later, the poor man was proven innocent. After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.  In court, the old man told the judge, ‘ They were just random comments, they did not harm anyone.’ The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man,  ‘write all the bad things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut it up into little pieces and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out of your car window. Tomorrow, you come back to hear the sentence.’   The next day, the judge told the old man,  ‘Before receiving the sentence, I want you to go out and gather up all the pieces of paper that you threw out of your car window yesterday.  The old man said,  ‘I cannot do that. The wind spread them all over the place and I will not know where to find them . "Then the judge replied,  ‘The s
