Glory is one of the many attributes of God.

God's glory is found in His Kingdom.

God's throne is glorious, His presence is glorious, His Words are glorious, His creation is glorious.
 His mind is glorious, His power, His creativity and His greatness are all glorious.
God's glory is on everything He's created.
There is a portion and degree of God's glory on everything He's made.
Since you are created in God's image and likeness, everything you do- the work of your hands should reflect glory and excellence.

Excellence is an aspect of glory.
Human beings need the glory of God, we were not originally created without God's glory.
 Man was originally created with glory and for glory.
Genesis 3:11
Glory makes you look like God.

Lights of glory, pleasures of beauty emanate  from God's presence.
When God's glory comes down upon a life, it manifests as God's blessings in different areas of that life.
When God's glory comes into a situation or circumstance it manifests as the miraculous.
John 2:11
The glory of God is connected to many positive things because these positive things are found in the glory of God. Things like honor, success, miracles, favor, greatness, light, power, blessings and progress are linked to God's glory.
You cannot describe God without talking about is glory.

When the Lord Jesus Christ comes back He is coming with glory.
Mark 13:26

The people of Israel were a people chosen to manifest the glory of God on the earth, as long as they did God's desire the glory stayed, but when they consistently did wrong the glory left.
The ark of God is representative of divine presence.
 Every time God's presence was with Israel the glory was present.
1 Samuel 4:22

The good news is that the 'ark' is consistently present with believers today, and lives within us now.
The ark today is Jesus and His Spirit in the believer.
Colossians 1:27

The Word glory appears in 371 verses of the Bible, 148 of the 371 verses is the translation of a Greek word kabod.
The word kabod means abundant, copious, or heavy.
The word kabod also refers to honor.
So when we talk about the glory of God we are talking about the full weight of His blessings, the full weight of His honor, the full weight of His power and strength, the full weight of His light, the full weight of His virtues, the full weight of His wisdom,counsel and understanding.

Glory is a beautiful thing.
The fullness of God's attributes and resources are found in God's glory. That's why it's out of God's glory that our needs are met.
Philippians 4:19
We receive of God's glory,and when you have the glory of God upon you, there will be a lifting of your head.
Psalm 3:3

The glory of God is also found in His presence.
Psalm 8:1
If you were to go to heaven you will have no choice but to fall on your knees and worship God, you will honor Him because you will see glory all around.
When God puts His glory on you, you will be honored on the earth.
Glory and honor are connected.

Everything God created has it's own glory.
Psalm 16:9
Your glory is that thing God has given you that brings you honor.
It is what God has given you that makes you stand out in an area of life, it's what gives you a shine and an advantage.
Your glory is that thing about you that people admire and respect you for, it comes about by what you are able to do.
There are abilities and gifts in you.
The Lord Jesus betters our life, our abilities, our gifts. He increases your glory.
Christ in you, He is the hope of glory.
The heavens declare the glory of God because they reveal the talent, ability and gift of God.
God is the King of glory because all glory emanates from Him and He is the one from whom true glory emanates.
 Psalm 24:7

May the Shekinah glory of God be found in you!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself.
