The Soul That
Enlarges God
“My ‘soul doth magnify the
Lord . . .” Luke 1:46.
In the introduction of his
wvery helpful book, YOUR GOD’
IS TOO SMALL, J. B. Phillips
writes, “The trouble with many
people today is that they have
not found a God big enough for]‘
modern needs.” |
It may sound ridiculous boi
you to suggest the possibility
of a too small God. However,
think about it a moment. There‘
are distant stars far larger
than our sun. But they are only
pin-points in the night sky.
Through the magnifying
glasses of a telescope, though,
these stars can be made much
larger to human eyes, though,
naturally, the star itself re
mains the same size.
When Mary spoke her poem
of praise to God after learning
she would be the mother of
Jesus, she began with the
words, “My soul doth magnify
the Lord.”
We each need souls with the
power of spiritual magnifica
tion. This quality of soul pro
vides, among many gifts, these
two. First there is the gift of
a nearer, more personal God.
Second, there is the gift of the
‘knowledge of God gained by
being able to see Him better.
A small, distant God is like
the mother’s son who went off
from home at age 20 to seek
his own life. He never wrote
nor made any home contacts.
His family didn’t know where
he was, Thirty years later he
returned to an aging mother.
She was happy to again have
her son with her though there
were thirty lost years which
could never be replaced. Dur
ing the time of the son’s ab
sence, there was no nearness,
no opportunity for the pleas
ures and counsels of intimate
family relationships.
The soul which is bereft of
spirituality likewise shuts itself
off from the fellowship and the
counsel of the heavenly Father.
There may be mental belief in
God, good deeds accomplished,
a moral life lived — but these
things are not enough. God
yearns for our companionship,
our friendship, our filial de
pendence. He must be large
enough in our soul’s eyes for us
to share these qualities with
him,
“lI just don’t know what to
do,” moaned the young woman
struggling with a moral prob
lem. Immortality constantly
preys upon those who are un
sure of what is right and of
what is wrong. Naturally there
is no perfect knowledge of right
or wrong on earth. So much
depends upon circumstances.
But I believe the soul which
magnifies the Lord is able to
better see in its enlarged vi
sion the will of God for its
life.
If God is remote—distant—
certainly there is much doubt
about the ways of God, just as
there are many doubts about
distant planets which are too
far away to be seen in detail.
Seek the grace of God
through Jesus which will give
birth to a soul that enlarges
God. It’s a person’s own fault
if his God is too small.
