WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO GIVE JEHOVAH GLORY? -Conclusion

 But what about humans? Can we actually bring glory to Jehovah? Yes, we can. One way we give glory is by telling others about his awesome power and his heartwarming qualities. We also glorify God when we give him credit for things we accomplish in his strength. (Isaiah 26:12) King David was an outstanding example of one who gave glory to Jehovah. In a prayer that he offered in the presence of the congregation of Israel, David said to God: "Yours, O Jehovah, are the greatness and the mightiness and the beauty and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on the earth is yours." After David concluded his prayer," all the congregation praised Jehovah." - 1 CHRONICLES 29:11, 20. 

When Jesus was on earth, he glorified his Father by acknowledging Him as the Source of his miracles.  (Mark 5:18-20) Jesus also brought glory to Jehovah by the way he spoke to his Father and the way he treated others. On one occasion, Jesus was teaching in a synagogue. Among those listening was a woman who had a possessed by a demon for 18 years. The demon had caused her body to be bent double so that she was unable to straighten up. How distressing! Moved by compassion, Jesus approached the woman and addressed her tenderly, saying: "Woman, you are released from your weakness." He then laid his hands on her, and instantly she stood up straight and "began to glorify God," her health and dignity fully restored! (Luke 13:10-13) That woman had good reason to give Jehovah glory and do we.
