Be Like a Telescope
We Must Magnify God like Telescopes!
Magnify him, but not like a microscope. You know the difference between two kinds of magnification, don’t you?
There’s telescope magnification and microscope magnification, and it’s blasphemy to magnify God like a microscope.
• To magnify God like a microscope is to take something tiny and make it look bigger than it is. If you try to do that to God you blaspheme.
• But a telescope puts its lense on unimaginable expanses of greatness and tries to just help them look like what they are. That’s what a telescope is for.
Twinkle, twinkle little star–you look up in the sky at night and they just look like pin-points. That’s not what they are. You know that, you’re in college right? They are big. They are really, really big, and they are hot! And you don’t have a clue except that once upon a time somebody invented a telescope, put their eye to it, and they thought, “It’s bigger than the earth, millions of times bigger than the earth.” That’s the way God is. Your life exists to telescope God’s glory to those who surround you.
