Luke 1: 46, 47– “And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.”
When we were kids, I remember the boys in our neighborhood being fascinated with magnifying glasses.
They attempted to use them to start fires, using bits of paper and dry grass. It was difficult to get the sun’s rays to hit just right, but once in awhile they were able to produce a spark.
They also observed small objects such as ants and studied the intricate pattern of the flesh on their arms.
The process is called magnification.
Those of us who wear glasses are familiar with the fact that lenses make letters appear larger so that we can see them more easily.
When we magnify something, it doesn’t get bigger. However, the object that we are magnifying becomes clearer.
So, like Mary, when we “Magnify the Lord” we become the lens to help others to see details about God’s character, goodness, grace and mercy more clearly.
We also magnify Him for us.
By increasing our focus on Him, we make Him greater in our thoughts and affections.
We exalt Him above all else.
King of Kings. Lord of Lords.

Beautifully worded, Brenda! I love the thought that we are the lens to help others see God clearly…
