Glory is 'doksa' in Koine Greek. The Glory of God is the awesome brightness of His perfections and the weightiness and significance of His eternal attributes. His radiance and beauty, and His being is His glory. So, how do I glorify God? I can't add to His glory. We glorify God by living as if the excellence of His brightness and perfections and the significance of His eternal attributes are in actuality as they are as serious and significant as they truly are, reflecting that glory.

I have to return to the centrality of the pursuit of the glory of God in my life. I could do this, except it isn't "my life." It's the life of Christ in actuality exuding within me as my life because I've died with Christ. It is no longer my life by faith by Christ's. The glory of God must be my supreme passion. To live in any other way other than by faith is to live for my own worldly, short-sighted, vain pursuits and not the exceedingly eternal, very important pleasure of God. It is foolish to take my mind off of this pursuit and pursue what's within the creation rather than the Creator of it and to make my Lord a means to an end rather than the direct object of all of my affection and servitude. It's serving self rather than God. It's a fleshly self-destruction, worthless, foolish, not eternal and God-honoring. I'm operating by faith. I want to see the Lord receive the glory due Him in all the earth, to its fullest.

I need to understand what is behind the 'glory of God' I speak about in this writing.Otherwise, it's just some flavor word I sing about and something I say blindly without really knowing what it means. This will need some prayer.
