JANUARY 18, 2026
ISAIAH 43:6-7 – I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, even whom I have made.
PSALM 19:1 – For the heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
ISAIAH 43:20 – The beasts of the field will glorify Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I have given waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to give drink to My chosen people.
LUKE 2:13-14 – And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
JOHN 12:27 – “But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.”
PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11 – For this reason also, God highly exalted Him (Jesus), and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
ROMANS 11:33-36 – Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! 34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
ISAIAH 6:3 – “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
“The glory of God is the infinite beauty and greatness of God’s manifold perfections.”
John Piper
“The glory of God is the sum of God’s magnificent attributes, and the eternal fame of his mysterious works.”
