b'Psalm 19:1 says, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d God made the vast heavens with the glorious light of the sun and the calming reflection of the moon. And to top it off, He sprinkled the sky with innumerable twinkling stars that bring us delight at night. He created countless planets and galaxies beyond our solar system, and here on Earth, He created plants that offer feasts of fruits and bounties of flowers. And the animals! He made mighty tigers and tiny mice; cruising whales and dashing minnows; horses and dogs, beautiful and faithful. And God made people. He made Adam and Eve in His own image to have fellowship with Him. God made us to glorify Him.\\nWhy does God bring glory to Himself? Is that even okay? Isn\\u2019t it like bragging? The Bible is clear that God does not sin. When Scripture talks about God doing something to glorify Himself, it means that God is showing us who He is\\u2014what His attributes are, what He can do, and how much He loves us. He wants us to know Him.\\nDo you realize that we do something similar? We reveal things about ourself when we play a musical instrument, create works of art, play a sport, whiz through mathematical equations to discover an answer, or use whatever knowledge or talent we have.\\nBut people aren\\u2019t sinless like God is. A person might have a sinful, boasting attitude and do things simply to show off. And we usually show off when we feel like our needs for love or affirmation aren\\u2019t being met. God sees these needs, and He wants us to come to Him so that He can fill them. As we follow Jesus, He helps us use the gifts God has given us to glorify Him. He calls us to serve others like He serves us (Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Peter 4:10). Jesus humbled Himself by becoming human and dying on the cross\\u2014and He raised from the dead, defeating sin and death forever. This resulted in God being glorified!\\nWhen God glorifies Himself, He is simply being God. He is the sinless, mighty, loving, beautiful God. His works are glorious, and so is He! \\u2022 Rebecca Moore\\n\\u2022 How does God reveal Himself through creation?
