You glorify God by needing him, by asking him for help, and by counting on him.

Sola Deo Gloria: To God Alone Be the Glory
When I first took upon me the defense of the Gospel, I remember a worthy man saying to me, “I like it, this doctrine you preach, because it gives glory and everything else to God alone, and nothing to man, for we cannot attribute too much glory, goodness, mercy, and so on to God.” This greatly comforted and confirmed me. And it is true that the doctrine of the Gospel removes from mankind all glory, wisdom, righteousness, and so on and gives it solely to the Creator, who made everything out of nothing (Hebrews 11:3). (Commentary on Galatians 1:11-12).
The Infinite God
The infinity of God exceeds all the significance and comprehension that names can furnish.

God Rejoices over You with Singing
You are his glory; he rejoices over you with singing; and you should so walk, that all who know and hear of you, may glorify Christ in you.

Eye Has Not Seen…
The glory of seeing Christ will be a thousand times more than anything we can imagine.

Much Grace, Much Glory
One thing is past all question: we shall bring our Lord most glory if we get from Him much grace.

Just One Glimpse of His Dear Face
The least glimpse of the glory of God in the face of Christ exalts and ennobles the soul more than all knowledge without grace.

Invited to the Greatness of Glory
God’s grace invites you to be part of something that is far greater than your boldest and most expansive dream. His grace cuts a hole in your self-built prison and invites you to step into something so huge, so significant that only one word in the Bible can adequately capture it. That word is glory.
Paul David Tripp, A Quest for More (Greensboro, NC: New Growth Press, 2007), 18.
One Step from Prison to Glory
When we shall come home, and enter into the possession of our Brother’s fair kingdom, and when our heads shall find the weight of the eternal crown of glory, then we shall look back to pains and sufferings and then we will see life and sorrow to be less than one step or stride from a prison to glory. Our little inch of time-suffering is not worthy of our first night’s welcome-home to heaven.
The Heavens Declare the Glory of God
Not only do the heavens declare the glory of God, but every blade of grass and flower in the field, every pebble on the shore and every shell in the ocean proclaim not only his power and goodness, but also his manifold wisdom, so near each one that even by feeling, God can be found. Augustine says, “The prophetic voices excepted, the world itself by its own most regular mutability and mobility and the exquisitely beautiful appearance of all visible things, silently as it were proclaims both that it was made and could be made only by a God unspeakably and invisibly great, and unspeakably and invisibly beautiful.”
You may say perhaps that these things were so arranged by chance and by a fortuitous concourse of atoms. But I know not whether such an impious and absurd opinion is worthy of refutation, since these things denote not chance, but the highest art.
