Daily Prescriptions

September 20, 2024

One word focus for today: magnify. I am no longer a young man. There are times that no matter how I hold something or what angle I try to twist it into, I just can’t see the little print any longer. Recently I was supposed to electronically renew a medication prescription. For the life of me, I couldn’t read the fine print of the pharmacy phone number, and to be truthful, I even struggled to read the tiny print of the prescription number. Now on my writing desk is a very useful tool. I am using it more and more frequently. It is a device to magnify hard to read little print. Magnify. A simple dictionary definition would include the wording of increasing the size, to cause to be greater, to make greater importance of a person or situation, to praise or to extol. All of these are found in the simple word “magnify.” Think of a couple wonderful verses of Scripture for your day today. “O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together” (Psalm 34:3). “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving” (Psalm 69:30). “And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord” (Luke 1:46). This magnifying the Lord gives the idea of making Him clearly seen in our lives because He holds the greatest place in our hearts, deserves the highest praise and thanksgiving, and frankly we become smaller and smaller while He becomes greater and greater to us. In our busy day today, let’s you and me be sure to live clearly, graciously, and Godly as we magnify the Lord.
