Glory: Verb

2 Corinthians 10:17 "But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

The verb "glory" here means, to "(make) boast, glory, joy, rejoice." The word has the picture of actually standing in His presence and what we would do if we were there. In this day and age of equality, I think we've largely lost the concept of what it means to glory in something because most of what we see on a daily basis is pretty normal.

But the God we serve is not normal. When we are humble (having a proper perspective of ourselves in light of Who God is) then we will see the need to glory in Him and not in anything else. Make your boast in what He has done. Tell other proudly of how God has acted on your behalf. Rejoice in what He has done. Find in His actions your source of joy.

In what am I glorying today? Do I even know how to glory?
