I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. Psalm 69:30
I will magnify God with thanksgiving.
In one respect, that doesn’t make sense.
How can we add anything to God?
Especially with our words?
But we make Him great in the eyes of others
When we offer our thanks for all His mighty deeds,
For His intervention in our lives
For His comfort and His presence.
We show Him the honor due Him
When we offer thanks for His goodness and grace.
He is all-powerful but He is good,
He is both mighty and willing to save.
We exalt His name above all others
When we give thanks that He is God alone.
He is the Lord, there is no other beside Him.
He is holy, wholly separate from us.
We glorify Him with the glory due His name
When we give thanks for our redemption.
He loved us. He came to us. He sought us.
He lifted us up, redeemed us and called us His own.
Let us magnify Him with our thanksgiving!
