Mary said it and it is worth us saying it too – “my soul magnifies the Lord!”

And Mary said, My soul magnifies and extols the Lord, And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, – Luke 1:46-47 AMP

To magnify the Lord is to “declare great” or “enlarge”. When we magnify the Lord we are enlarging Him in our lives. (He already is the largest being in the universe!) But when we begin to look at His size and lift Him up in our life by declaring Him great and making a big deal about Him, then He is magnified!

“God is greater” is an absolute statement. If you ask “God is greater than what?”, the response is always, “God is greater than all!” The creator is always greater than the creation. He reigns over all. Declaring His greatness in your life causes all things to be put in proper perspective. Everything bows it’s knee to the Name above all names – Jesus! And when we magnify Him and lift up the Name of Jesus, everything in our lives begins to bow it’s knee.

Magnifying the Lord is a powerful act of faith! It is worshipping the Lord to the highest degree and declaring Him Lord over all. We have the awesome privilege of declaring the greatness of God! Let’s do it today!
