Doxology is praising God for who he is. It is giving God the glory that is due him for his radiant holiness. In thanksgiving we offer up gratitude for something we have received. But in doxology we honor the very being of God. We exalt and praise the Lord simply because he is God. Thanksgiving is wonderful and necessary. But so is doxology and for some it’s not always clear that much of it is happening. This is why praise and worship that brings glory to God is so important.

The word doxology comes from Greek and literally means “glory word.” We see God’s glory, and we speak a word of amazement as we send that glory to God.

Doxologies erupted from Paul quite often in his New Testament letters and usually near the end. Doxologies of many kinds should regularly flow from our hearts and lips too!
Our glorious God is worthy of all the glory we can give back to him!
