"In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." Matthew 5:16
Before glasses and Lasix and huge fonts, magnifying glasses were used by older folks to help them to see words that were too small to read. The magnifying glass is held up to words in a book to make the words bigger so that the words can be seen better. The magnifying glass is not the center of attention and it is mostly ignored. The words are the focus of all attention. We are to be magnifying glasses that put God at the center of anyone's attention. When we do anything worth praise, we are to be a magnifying glass and not the words. No one marvels at a magnifying glass. We marvel at the item the magnifying glass helps us to see better.
Lord, help me to be a magnifying glass so others can see You better.
