I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice. O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed. Psalm 34:1-5 NASB
There is a Yoruba (from the Wester parts of Nigeria) saying that if a servant or slave can think deeply, he or she would be thankful or grateful! It is good to meditate on the Word of God and reflect on the goodness and blessings of God in one's life! Only a soul and mind that does that can and will appreciate God enough to be able to bless and magnify the Name of the Lord! From the above Scripture, it is very clear that magnifying and blessing the Name of the LORD is prompted by a deep reflection on what He Has Done for human kind or the person. O Father Lord God Almighty in Jesus' Name, I bless and magnify Your Holy Name and worship and adore You in Jesus' Name. Thank You O Holy Spirit!!!
And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, For he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
Luke 1:46 - 59 ESV
Again we see in this Scripture above that Mary burst forth into praise; magnifying and blessing the Lord and His Name on a deep reflection on the Lord's Hand upon her life and experience. In her words expressed, we can clearly follow what appears to be a part of her life's journey in the Name of the Lord God Almighty who did "great" things for her. Indeed o Lord, Your Name is Holy!!!
(23) Also I raised My hand in an oath to those in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the Gentiles and disperse them throughout the countries, (24) because they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, profaned My Sabbaths, and their eyes were fixed on their fathers' idols. (25) "Therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they could not live; (26) and I pronounced them unclean because of their ritual gifts, in that they caused all their firstborn to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate and that they might know that I am the LORD."' Ezekiel 20:23-26
The teeth that a dog uses in playing with it's puppies are used likewise to bite them for discipline! This does not liken the Great God unto a dog; no. Just an analogy to allow my reader to grasp the depths of the Lord God Almighty's Power! I have said it repeatedly that if we obey God, we are in for a blessing and for a time of abundance and satisfaction! However, if we disobey Him and His Word and engage in evil and not good, we shall surely suffer His wrath and judgment! Make no mistake about this! God is good and we all say all the time; but God Will, in His Goodness, punish sin, evil and wickedness, in order to purge mankind of evil and restore man's soul. Those who turn from their evil ways shall be saved; but all who continue in their evil ways shall be destroyed in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
