Exalt the Lord!

The word tells us to let our light shine before men so they may see our good works and glorify our Father, which is in heaven. Do we light a candle to put it in the closet or for the light to be seen?

The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation… ~ Psalm 18:46 (NASB)

In a psalm, David entreated the people to exalt the Lord together. In a trial while dealing with King Achish, David underwent a struggle for his life. Although he made a weak defense of feigning insanity to escape from him, David was certain that the Lord was the cause for his deliverance.

I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! ~ Psalm 34:1-3 (ESV)

Singing to the Lord, praying, praising, thanking, teaching, preaching, witnessing for Christ daily in our walks are some of the ways to magnify the Lord. Lifting up his name is the least we can do for the loving savior whose light lives within us.

Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So, I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands ~ Psalm 63:3-4 (ESV)
