The soundtrack:
- To raise in rank, character, or status; elevate.
- To glorify, praise, or honor.
This word describes our humble attempts to glorify the name of God, as we lift both Him and our fellows up. In all that we do, we are to see that God is glorified. Our actions ought to reflect the fact that our God is 'high and lifted up'.
Others may curse God, but our lives ought to show forth the glory of the Lord. In our triumphs, and even in our failures - we are to acknowledge His greatness. We lift Him up by giving Him the credit due to Him - don't credit 'luck' for what God has done. Don't credit 'circumstance' for the victories God gives. Don't credit 'good fortune' for His blessings! Give God the praise! Say it out loud - Exalt Him!
Share His goodness with others. Talk about the victories He has given you. In your quiet time, open your heart and let loose your love for Him. It might come in a shout, it might come in tears, but let it go.... let Him know that you know He cares.

The psalmist said:
Psalm 43:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
We'll talk....
