Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PURPOSE! According to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ shall even now, as always, be exalted [magnified] in my body, whether by life or by death. -Philippians 1:20 My eyes are getting older, like the rest of me, and it gets more and more difficult to see things clearly. To read anything up close, I now need glasses to magnify the words and make them easy for me to read. Without my glasses, words and sentences are blurred and make no sense. In the above verse, Paul states that his hope and purpose is to "exalt (or magnify)" Christ whether by life or by death. Let's think about what a "magnifier" does. Does it clarify or blur? Does it make things easier to see or more difficult to see? Does it enlarge or minimize things? Of course, the value of the magnifying glass is in how well it clarifies, enlarges, and makes something easier to read. That's its whole purpose.
