Ps.40.16 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee: let such as love Thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified in me.    17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Ps.70.4 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee: and let such as love Thy salvation say continually, let God be magnified.    5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.

Jn.3.30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

He must increase, BUT I must decrease.

(Sorry, I sang the wrong word in this line. I sang ,"He must increase, and I must decrease.")

The Truth is: He must increase BUT I must decrease.

We must understand that He will not increase in us, unless we first decrease ourselves. IF we humble ourselves, deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and die to our life in the world, and submit ourselves unto God; He will magnify Himself in us. 

He does not force Himself on us; it is up to us to let Him increase in us. (see study on: 'Resting in the Lord' on: www.to-the-bodyofchrist,com
