• God only fills Houses that He designs.
What is the Glory?

Hebrew: kavod דוֹבָכּ

• First, we must recognize that the "glory" is something that will be seen.

• Secondly, the word “glory” is an abstract word. If we look at how this word is paralleled with other words in poetical passages of the Bible, we can discover the original concrete meaning of this word.

• In Psalm 3:3 the kavod of Elohiym (God) is paralleled with his "shield"

• In Job 29:20, Job's kavod is paralleled with his "bow."

• In Psalm 24:8 we read "who is this king of the kavod, YHWH is strong and mighty, YHWH is mighty in battle."

• The original concrete meaning of kavod is battle armaments. The meaning "armament" fits with the literal meaning of the root of kavod, which is "heavy," and armaments are the heavy weapons and defenses of battle. In Exodus 16:7, Israel will "see" the "armament" (GLORY) of YHWH, the one who has done battle for them with the Egyptians.
The Glory of God is when the invisible qualities and attributes of God become visible.
WARNING: Don’t use the blessing of God and then move on. Stop and give Him glory!
We decide if God gets the glory. He decides how it’s manifested in our lives.
If we steal the Glory, we take responsibility for producing the fruit of Glory.
