Psalms 106:20 KJV
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
Years ago I heard a preacher mockingly talking about a man's hair as his "glory." Really we have a lot of things that are our "glory."
For Israel, they made a molten calf their glory
Some of us strive so hard for worldly positions because they are for us our "glory." We measure ourselves by those possessions.
Our glory might be a motorhome
Our glory might be an immense house (or in some cases hoses)
Our glory might be our money and our ability to influence people with it
Our glory might be our boat
Our glory might be our skills at a hobby
Our glory might be a car
But the shame of it all is that we have something that could be so much more glorious. The passage tells us that God wants to give us His glory. He wants to be such a part of our lives that our true glory is our relationship with Him.
And what else could be more glorious than that?
