Do You "Do It"? (1 of 5)
It is easy to praise the Lord and to be happy, content and thankful when "things" are going our desired way!
However, the true character, level of maturity and degree of faith one has is demonstrated when nothing seems to be going well or as desired.
In Luke 1:46-And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord.
Mary had experienced an angelic visit.
She had been given the huge and easily unbelievable promise that she would become the mother of Jesus, even though she was a
She had also been told that her cousin Elizabeth who was aged and also an "unlikely person" to experience the miracle of God was also with child.

Do You "DO IT"? (2 of 5)
After visiting her cousin and witnessing the glory of God; Mary professed Luke 1:46.
We should readily and quickly give God praise and magnify the Lord for what we experience in our lives.
To Magnify means:
"to make great," to enlarge it to more easily and better see it.
Since God is already larger than the entire universe; for us to magnify God means to enlarge our image of HIM and His presence in our lives since 99% of the time the image we have of God is too small and weak.
We need to magnify our attention of His greatness!
This will put us in awe EACH TIME we do so and will provoke a spirit of praise in our lives!
We have SO MANY REASONS to magnify the name of the LORD; to love and praise Him.
The more we practice magnifying and thanking the Lord, the more we will be sensitive to His presence and love in our lives and just how
blessed we are, and to the fact that there are thousands of people who would love to experience our lives.
|
Do You "DO IT"? (3 of 5)
Yes, no matter how little we have or how old it may be; countless others would love to be in our shoes.
Additional nuggets from our Luke 1:46 verse are: 1) And Mary said, My soul doth magnify...
She declared, professed and did not wait on others to do so.
To magnify the Lord and to have a grateful heart is an individual decision.
After evaluating just how privileged she was and how the Lord had displayed His great love in her life; she decided in her heart and
then confessed her God-reverence stance with her lips.
What are we deciding in our hearts and then declaring with our lips?
Is it spiritually, physically and emotionally healthy?
|
Are we speaking the words of Jesus over our lives for He said in John 6:63-The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. .... ... or
will we speak as Job did in 10:1-"I am disgusted with my life. Let me complain freely. My bitter soul must complain.
What we decide and speak will determine the quality of our lives.
2) What and who is the object of our praise? Is it the present security of marriage, professional success, educational accomplishments, financial status, etc.?
While those possessions are the vehicle of our blessings; none of those is the "Engine" of our enjoyment.
Per James 1:17a-Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father.
That means God is the "Engine" of our enjoyment. He should be the object of our praise and thanksgiving.
|
While Daddy-God wants us to honor one another and to exhibit a spirit of thankfulness to them; He doesn't want us to lose our
true focus on Him as the "Object" of our praise.
He as the "Object" of our praise means our souls will magnify the Lord! We will magnify Him for life, health and strength.
We will magnify and thank Him for happiness and peace. We will magnify Him for the activities of our limbs, minds, families, homes, finances, and for the endless list of blessings that He gives us. So, your response to the question of "Do You "Do It", do you magnify the Lord, should be yes and even become stronger and more readily as you mature in the Lord. Let's experience the daily blessings and recognize the daily manifestation of the glory of Daddy-God in our lives! "Do It"! "Do It"! "Do It", for it is good for our bodies, minds and souls.
