God’s GLORY is witnessed “through” his people's obedience. God gives his people assignments, callings ministries, marriages, families, and purposes, not for their purposes, but for HIS. It is not our job to CHANGE situations or circumstances around or toward our preferred OUTCOMES. It is up to us to OBEY and allow God to work the situations and circumstances toward HIS OUTCOME. The HEBREW BOYS didn’t try to CHANGE King Nebuchadnezzar mind about worshipping other gods or bowing down to graven images. They simply OBEYED God. Their obedience glorified God and became the catalyst for an even GREATER GLORY of God.

God’s GLORY is WITNESSED in the GOOD way he CARES for and sustains the VAST universe. It is WITNESSED in the smallest gesture of GOODNESS he demonstrates and offers to the least of his creatures. Thus, "… [The]… Father is glorified (his presence is made known or WITNESSED) by this, that “YOU” (like HIM) bear much fruit (such as the fruit of GOODNESS), and so PROVE to be [his]… disciples...” (John 15:8).
One of the “…The fruit of the Spirit is … goodness…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). The FRUIT of GOODNESS works in the believer through the indwelling Holy Spirit and transforms their character. “…God who works in you …” (Philippians 2:13 NIV),
“…Therefore if any man (woman) be in Christ, he (she) is a NEW creature …” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “… we all (new creations) … are changed into the same image [of Christ] …” (2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV). SO “...Be… imitators of [Jesus]…” (Hebrews 12:14; Ephesians 5:1 ASV).
