Let God Be Magnified

I enjoy exciting sermons and spirit-filled gospel music. It lifts me up. However I've seen a few charismatic leaders try to manufacture the spirit by arousing enthusiasm. This kind of emotional hype is often mistaken for true spirituality.

One time a visitor at our church told me we weren't spiritual enough. We didn't make enough noise or raise our hands. I told him not to judge me. Only God knew the joy overflowing in my heart.

There is nothing wrong with raising your hands in praise, but you don't need pizzazz to muster up the spirit. God looks at the heart. Magnifiying God with humble praise, Bible study, and prayer will bless you all over.

Psalm 70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, let God be magnified.

When the Spirit of God sweeps a worship service in a hallowed whisper, you know you are standing on Holy Ground.
