1. God created the world for His glory.  – The heavens tell of the glory of God;
    and their expanse declares the work of His hands.
      (Ps 19:1 NASB)
  2. God helps not only ALL people, but He helps, delivers, and forgives believers, for His own glory. –  Help us, God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.  (Ps 79:9 NIV) 
  3. God will not share His glory with idols, so we must be diligent in ascribing glory to God alone for all of His blessings upon us.  – ‘I am the Lord; that is my name!  I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.’  (Isa 42:8 NIV)
  4. God will not allow Himself to be insulted, and He will not relinquish His glory to others. –  For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.  How can I let myself be defamed?  I will not yield my glory to another.  (Isa 48:11 NIV)
  5. Because we are called by the name of the Lord and we are His children, the listens, forgives, and acts on our behalf.  It is all for the glory of His name.  –  ‘Lord, listen!  Lord, forgive!  Lord, take note and take action!  For your own sake, don’t delay, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.’  (Dan 9:19 ISV)

We belong to our Creator, and it is our created function to bring Him glory and honor. We are the children of God, called by His name and created for God’s own glory—as the Scriptures teach us: 

Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth, even everyone who is called by My name, for I have created him for My glory; I have formed him, and I have made him.  (Isa 43:6-7 MEV)

So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory.  (Ps 63:2 CSB) 

We are called to worship and glorify the Lord. Let us praise and worship the Lord in the sanctuary as we recognize His strength and His glory.  Praise the Lord!
