What is God's Glory?

What does it mean when someone mentions the glory of God? It's like if you were to ask God to do any of the following:

• God, flex Your muscles so I can see how strong U r.
• God, stand next to the tallest mountain so I can see Your immensity and height.
• God, show me Your bank account so I can know how rich U r.
• God, show me what U can do to the worst enemy so I can see how powerful U r.
• God, embarass the wisest, smartest people so I can appreciate Your understanding.
• God, stand next to the most beautiful women so I can appreciate Your truely perfect beauty.
• God, put me in the darkest pit so I can see Your inextinguishable light.
• God, take me to the edge of the universe so I can experience Your ubiquity.
  
• Lord, put me in hell for a moment so I can see that even the devil and his demons bow down to U.
• Lord, put me in the midst of the most powerful hurricane so I can experience your eternal peace.

God's Glory is the sum of all good things you could ever think of. His Glory is the perfect representation of Love, Mercy, Beauty, Wisdom, Wealth, Strength, etc.

My ancient ancestor Moses once ask God to show him His Glory. God said no one could see His Glory without getting killed. So God told Moses He would walk in front of him but would use His hand to shield him. Then once He was at a distance, He would remove His hand so Moses could see His back. Moses did see God's back and never was the same person again.

Moses could have asked God for help to deal with the people, or for protection during the trip ahead. But Moses chose to ask God to see His Glory. Isn't that what u and I need today? If we were to see God's Glory, we would become different people and would be able to overcome all obstacles because we would know we have a Mighty God.

Think about this again. God is so strong, that you cannot even see Him flex His muscles or you would die. The next time someone tries to intimidate you with ugly growls, fowl language or show of strength, just imagine how much stronger God is. He cannot even show us how strong He really is or He would blow us away and kill us. That is way too strong.

Now think about all His other qualities. I bet He cannot show us His full love and mercy because we would weep to death. He cannot show us His awesome beauty because we would be stunned, awed and frozen for eternity.
