Be Magnified - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]

As we delve into the lyrics of "Be Magnified" by Gateway Worship, we are reminded of the ceaseless worship that surrounds the throne of God. The song paints a vivid picture of the heavenly scene described in Revelation 4:10-11, where the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne, casting their crowns before the Lamb in worship. This act of surrender, of laying down their crowns, signifies the recognition of God's sovereignty and majesty. 

The song also echoes the sentiment found in Psalm 34:3, "Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!" The psalmist invites us to join in this grand chorus of praise, to magnify the Lord together. To magnify means to make something appear larger than it is, especially with a lens or microscope. When we magnify God, we are not making Him bigger than He already is; rather, we are enlarging our perception of Him, acknowledging His greatness and His worthiness of our praise.

The lyrics of the song and these Bible verses remind us of the importance of worship in our lives. Worship is not just a Sunday activity; it is a lifestyle. It is a constant recognition of God's presence in our lives, a continuous outpouring of love and adoration for our Creator. The song encourages us to let our praises rise, to lift God high in our lives, to magnify Him in all that we do.

The song also draws our attention to the declaration in Luke 19:40, where Jesus says, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." This is a powerful reminder that all of creation is designed to worship God. If we, as His children, do not praise Him, the very rocks will. This should stir in us a desire to be part of this universal chorus of praise, to not hold back anything in our worship of the King.

As we reflect on these truths, let us ask ourselves: How are we magnifying God in our lives? Are we living a lifestyle of worship, recognizing His presence in every moment of our day? Are we part of the universal chorus of praise, or are we silent, letting the rocks cry out in our place? Let this song and these scriptures inspire us to live lives that magnify God, that lift Him high, that let our praises rise to the King of majesty.
