“Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together!” 
Psalm 34:3

Wherever each of us is this day let us with one heart do just that, magnify the Lord and exalt His name.  We are His church, His bride.  Do we not adore and worship our Bridegroom, the One who is our life?  Then let the bride say so in songs of praise, adoration and thanksgiving.  All honor is due our Lord!  Just look at some of the verses that lead us into praise and worship.

“Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.”  Psalm 29:2

“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!”  Psalm 57:5

“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!”  Psalm 107:1

“Let them thank the LORD for His steadfast love, for His wondrous works to the children of man!” Psalm 107:8;15;21; and 31
(This whole Psalm tells of the LORD’S delivering men from his many troubles.  And the Psalmist stops several times to encourage thanks to the LORD and to stand in awe of His loving-kindness to men.  We, too, stand in awe of His great love and kindness unto us.)

In Isaiah God is exalted for His wondrous works,
“O LORD, you are my God;
I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
For You have done wondrous things,
Plans formed of old, faithful and sure.”  Isaiah 25:1

Then in Revelation 19:6-7 we read,
“Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
Hallelujah!
For the Lord God the Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult and give Him glory,
For the marriage of the Lamb has come, 
And His Bride has made herself ready…”  Revelation 19;6-7

I close with verses of Psalm 34 which we often sing in our worship service;
“I will bless the LORD at all times;
 His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
 My soul shall make her boast in Thee LORD;
 The humble shall hear thereof and be glad.
 O magnify the LORD with me,
  And let us exalt His name together.
 I sought the Lord and He heard me,
 And delivered me from all my fears.”  Vs. 1-4

Thank you Lord for Your grace, loving-kindness and tender mercies that called us unto Yourself!  We praise You and give You all honor and glory.  
Amen
