Magnify with Thanksgiving

Listen to the Audio

Psalm 69:30-31 says... I will praise God’s name in song and magnify Him with thanksgiving. 31 And this will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.

To magnify God is to make him bigger. In life we can either be magnifying light or darkness. We are all magnifying something every day based on what we are thinking about, meditating on, and talking about consistently. When we magnify God by praising him and thanking him consistently I believe it opens up and expands our capacity to receive more from him. Thanksgiving, especially in the face of pressure or problems, is one of the greatest expressions of faith. 

Being thankful puts us into a position to receive from God, and some of the side effects of thankfulness are supernatural peace and joy. I am seeing more and more that being consistently thankful may be one of the most important things we do. It opens up everything else. The alternative is complaining, which opens up a bunch of stuff we don't want. 

I am thankful for you. 

Daniel
