“Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.”—Psalm 105:3.
We often think of “glory” as an adjective used to describe God. Only in recent years has it occurred to me that the Bible sometimes uses the word “glory” as a verb, an action word. Glory is not only something that we are to observe about God; glory is something that we are to do.
So how does one go about the business of glorying? How do we know glorying when we see it?
I suppose there is a bit of speculation about how we might glory in the Lord. Perhaps it would vary from one culture to another. Maybe it differs from one personality to the next.
I think I might have seen some people glorying in the Lord at the National Missionary Convention a few years ago. During one of the worship services, some attendees started dancing through the aisles, smiling radiantly as they praised God. They were worshiping with their whole bodies, and it was evident that they were taking delight in their God. “Glory” would be a good way to describe what they were doing.
What is your most vivid memory of people glorying in the Lord?
