Have you ever had a problem or situation consume your thinking?I have. It became all I could think about and began to show up in my dreams. What I was doing was magnifying the problem. The bigger it got, the worse I felt. It finally hit me that I was magnifying the wrong thing. Instead of magnifying your problem or issue, magnify the Lord. Sometimes we magnify our problems so much that they seem to overshadow the Lord and even cause us to think even He can’t solve them. When we magnify the Lord, we put our focus on the one who can resolve it. We put the situation into perspective. Whatever we magnify grows. We have a choice in the matter. Let’s choose to magnify the Lord today.
Here are some Bible verses on magnifying God:
1. Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, “The Lord be magnified!”
Psalms 40:16 AMP
2. I will praise the name of God with song And magnify Him with thanksgiving.
Psalms 69:30 AMP
3. No matter what, I’ll trust in you to help me. Nothing will stop me from praising you to magnify your glory!
Psalms 71:14 TPT
4. And Mary said, “My soul magnifies and exalts the Lord,”
Luke 1:46 AMP
5. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.
Psalms 34:3 NKJV

“Instead of magnifying your problem or issue, magnify the Lord. “
This is a great thought, Chris. A licensed professional counselor who works at my school sometimes drops in to talk with me. One of his favorite phrases is, “What we focus on, we get more of.” Every time he says it I’m reminded of my current state of mind. Frankly, I think he knows I need the reset.
You’ve done the same favor for me this morning. Thank you, brother.

Our mind is incredible. We often come to those places where we need a reset. I know King David did and that’s why he constantly reminds us to magnify the Lord!
