One truly glorifies God precisely by rejoicing and delighting in the manifold display of who God is and what He does.
Merely understanding the perfections of God cannot be the end for which God created us as beings who think and feel. Neither can the highest aim of creation be the declaring of God’s glory to others, for, as Edwards says, “the declaring [of] God’s glory is good for nothing otherwise than to raise joy in ourselves and others at what is declared.”7
