12/14/11 My breath prayer today comes from the song that Mary sings when she learns from an angel that she will give birth to the Savior. It is traditionally called the "Magnificat," based upon the word "Magnify." Luke 1:46b-47, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior."
I thought of a magnifying glass....how it can make something look larger. But a magnifying glass can also focus the rays of the sun into a single point, so that it can cause a fire to start. Is the coming of Christ like this? Does Christ help us to see things better, in larger perspective, with more clarity? Does Christ, the Son/Sun, get so focused that He can cause people to became aflame with passion for the Gospel? Can He change the hearts of groups, congregations, denominations, nations....to warm up to love, reconciliation, hope, forgiveness?
Can we be part of the magnification process? How will we magnify the Lord?
Love,
Lynn
