What does it mean to give God glory? The word glory bears with it the idea of greatness of the splendor of God as it pertains to the Old Testament.

In the New Testament, the word glory is translated to mean honor, dignity, worship, and praise.

When we put the two together, we see that glorifying God means to acknowledge His greatness and give Him all the worship and honor and thanksgiving in all that we do and say.

God's glory is the essence of His nature. We bring Him glory when we revel in His divine essence.

How often are we consumed with our mundane activities that we forget who we're doing it for?

I believe if we lose the motivation that we're doing it to glorify God, we're prone to grumbling and complaining much like the children of Israel.

We become ungrateful and our hearts begin to grow hard and cold toward God.

We begin to simply go through the motions in life and soon we're looking to other things to satisfy a longing in our soul that only living a God glorifying life can satisfy.

We were made to worship God and He gives us the gifts and abilities in which to do that every day.

In Colossians 3.17, the Apostle Paul sends an encouragement in his letter to the church at Colossa.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

He was reminding the Colossians that their ultimate purpose on this earth was to give God glory by showing God's love and walking in peace with one another,

and to do all things with a heart full of gratitude and worship unto the Lord.

Worship simply means a scribing worth.

It's what and or who you give your time, devotion, affection, finances, heart, praise and thanksgiving to.

I believe we've all been created to worship, ultimately to worship our Creator.
