In an earlier post, we looked at four reasons to give glory to God from Psalm 115.  Today, we want to consider four ways we give glory to God from the same psalm.  How do we give glory to God?

• We give glory to God as we serve him (v2-8).  Followers of idols serve their idol, giving their obedience and allegiance.  As followers of the one true God, we should serve him, giving him our full obedience and allegiance.  Does he have your complete allegiance?  As we show that he alone is worthy of our total service, obedience, and allegiance, faithfully serve him each day, we give him glory.
• We give glory to God as we trust him (v8-11).  Those who follow idols, trust in their idols.  But we trust in the Lord as our help and shield.    Are you trusting him in your current circumstances?  As we show that he alone is worthy of our complete trust, and we trust him in each situation, we give him glory.
• We give God glory as we seek to be good stewards of his blessings (v12-17).  God has blessed us with countless blessings.  He has given us the resources of the earth.  He has given us whatever time we have here on earth.  How are you using his blessings?  His resources?  The time he has given you?  Are you using his blessings for selfish pursuits for your glory?  Or are you using his resources for the kingdom for his glory?  As we show that he is worthy of our stewardship, and we daily live as good stewards, we give him glory.
• We give glory to God as we praise him (v12-18).  In response to his many blessings, we ought to praise him.  We ought to be grateful.  In our limited time here on earth, we should praise God.  We should give ourselves to singing his praises as we gather together as his people.  We should give ourselves to praising him all week longs as we talk about the great things he has done for us.  Are you giving yourself to praising God?  As we show that he is worthy of our praises, and we praise him each day, we give him glory.

God is worthy.  Will you give him the glory he deserves today?
