The Glory of God

The glory of God also means his supreme importance. The Hebrew word for "glory" is kabad, which means "weight" - literally God's weightiness. Fortunately, we have an English word that has the same way - it is word matter. Matter means "as opposed to the immaterial, something solid, something substantial," but it can also mean "importance." And therefore, when the Bible says that God is glorious, more than anything else or anyone else. And if anything matters to you more than God, you are not acknowledging his glory. You are giving glory to something else.
