Week 37: Worship God and magnify Him.

What do you magnify in your life or prefer not to magnify? Everyone has admirable qualities they like to accentuate and showcase. If you are a great cook, athlete, or musician, or you are beautiful, you want to showcase your attributes to gain admiration. King David wrote in Psalm 69:30, “I will praise the name of God with song, and magnify Him with thanksgiving.”

I wrote a post on worshiping with thanksgiving, which I recommend reading. Giving thanks is showing appreciation for what someone did or for what happened. I missed getting into a car accident, so I was thankful and praised God for His protection. If someone made you a wonderful meal, wouldn’t you praise them and thank them for sharing the meal with you, and so on? So how do we magnify God with thanksgiving? Be thankful for His wonderful attributes, provision, protection, power, and so on. Being thankful magnifies the praiseworthy attribute by bringing it to people’s attention.

Why does Kind David tell us to praise the name of God? Or exalt His name in this next verse? Psalm 34:3, “O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together.” Why do we exult His name? After pondering this for a moment, the name Taylor Swift came to mind. I don’t listen to or follow Taylor Swift, so I would not show admiration for her when I hear her name. Her name does not have power over my emotions. In the same way, if you do not follow God and listen to His words, you won’t have an emotional attachment, and His name has no meaning to you. So, magnifying someone when you hear their name is to give them praise and admiration if we have an emotional connection.

As you worship God this week, ponder the truths for each day. Do these truths move you emotionally? I pray they do. May God bless you richly with His presence this week.
