God’s Honor
In the Old Testament the word most often translated “glory” is chabod, a word that basically refers to “weight” or “substance.”
Another meaning of chabod is “honor.” For example, have you ever been in a courtroom when the judge entered and everyone stood? Or in a room where a head of state drew people to their feet just by making an entrance? These are gestures showing the “weight” we give to the presence of those whom we honor.
So the psalmist sings, “Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! Sing out the honor (chabod) of His name; make His praise glorious (chabod).” Does God carry more “weight” with you than anything else in the world?
