Mary said her soul magnifies the Lord, how do you make much of God .
Do you do it by acting like a telescope or microscope? do you glorify him as you make him bigger or glorify him by seeing Him more as he really is?

Believers magnify Jesus more like an open perfume bottle.
2 Corinthians 2:15
For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
We either smell very good or stink.

Hmm, what an interesting question. So it means if we are studying small and big science and nature patterns, we should be witnessing of the true source of creation. Would you mind if I were the backup band instead? I'm not as scientific as I am musical. However, I guess you could magnify that on a big screen. Have a happy day.

I glorify God by preaching and teaching the truth about him and helping to make his name known. Ps. 83:18 says, "that people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the most high over all the earth." So I guess I make him bigger, which is the definition of magnify, correct? Or as Miriam-Webster's first definition of magnify, to extol or laud, to cause to be held in greater esteem or respect.

Through the Word and Creation He has shown us what we need to know. I see Him as He is through the Word. Assuming things outside of or contrary to His Word gets me no where. Thanks for the link. I also like Piper and MacArthur.
