Do you want to glorify God?

“The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me.”  Psalm 50:23

So often we are seeking our own glory.  And do you know something? We hardly ever give thanks to God when we are seeking our own glory.  They are contrary to one another. 
The person that gives thanks to God is one that has a heart that overflows with a gratefulness for all that God has done.  They want God to receive the glory he deserves.
The person who withholds thanks to God is one that has a heart that overflows with a desire to see their self glorified.
