Let God be magnified!

Psalm 70:4c NKJV

God, Who is from eternity to eternity, great and awesome, cannot be greater than He was. There is no sense in which He could ever be less or more magnificent than He Is. So, what does this brief phrase of our text mean?

"Let God be magnified! It is the prayer and exclamation of the believer. Believers cry out, let God be magnified:

~in my heart, may He be an ever greater part of my thoughts

~in my words, may I acknowledge His rescue before all people

~in my hopes for the future, may I have a greater sense of Christ

~in times of temptation, may His honour be the greater so that

temptations are shown to be tawdy, small, and pathetic

~in times of turmoil and grief, may His glory as my Deliverer be

my ever greater song and trust

~in times of joy may His Goodness be even more credited

~in the moments when people mock me for my faith, may my

trust in Him grow.

~in my contemplation of His salvation, may the victory of Jesus

and the love of the Father and work of the Spirit to minister

these to the believer be the song of my life that grows and fills

more and more of who I am

God, Deliver and Covenant-Keeper, be magnified in my thoughts, in my heart, in my life. God, Source of Salvation and all true believing, be magnified among believers around the world. You are the Helper of all who call out to You--be magnified in the eyes of this world! Amen.
