Why is returning to give glory to God a significant practice?

The practice of returning to give glory to God serves multiple purposes in the life of a believer. Firstly, it reflects our acknowledgment of who God is and what He has done. In Luke 17, while ten lepers were healed, only one returned to express gratitude, demonstrating that our relationship with God is not merely transactional but deeply relational. Returning allows us to articulate our testimonies and encourage others in their faith. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity to engage in communal worship where we collectively affirm the goodness and faithfulness of God. As seen in the narrative of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20, returning to worship after prayer reinforces our dependence on God and becomes a witness to others of His power to save.
