The Lord Be Magnified

 Malachi 1:2-3  

"I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? 

Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, 

Mal 1:3  And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his 

heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness." 

    All things, whether from outward circumstances, or spiritual privileges, come from the free love of God, who makes one to different from another.  All the evils that sinners feel and fear, are the just recompense of their crimes, while all their hopes and comforts are from the unmerited mercy of the Lord.  He chose His people that they might be holy.  If we love Him, it is because He has first loved us; yet we all are prone to undervalue the mercies of God, and to excuse our own offenses.  

   My Friends, God will have honor from His professing people.  God's goodness being His glory, when He does us good we must proclaim Him great, for that is magnifying Him.  It is an instance of His goodness that He has pleasure in the prosperity of His servants, and for this those that love His salvation say, The Lord be magnified! "Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.  And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long,"  (Ps. 35:27-28). 

Amen!
