Magnification

One of my favorite quotes is from Henry Ford, who said: "If you think you can do a thing or can not do a thing, you' re right." I like his insight into the power that our minds and attitudes play in our successes. What we focus on, or magnify, becomes our reality.

My song this week is from Phillips, Craig and Dean, who have been performing together for many years. Interestingly, all three of the musicians are also pastors of churches in 3 separate cities. "Revelation Song", originally by Gateway Worship, led by Kari Jobe, is the first release from P,C&D's CD Fearless, scheduled for release in August. Proving my scriptural genius - "Revelation Song" gets its basis from, of all places, Revelation !!

I listened to an interview with the band about this song and was impressed with their comments about magnifying our problems and our fears or magnifying our savior. Our thoughts and perceptions become our reality- whether that reality is fear or triumph; darkness or hope. Jesus gives us the strength, power, conviction and ability to overcome any obstacle, why wouldn't we focus on him?

This is one of those songs that sticks in my mind. I find myself humming and singing it all day long. In these fearful times, I'm glad to have something so uplifting to fill my thoughts.
