2 Chronicles 5:6,13,14 "And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered. 13 and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the Lord, “For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever,” the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God."
Three thousand years ago, when Solomon dedicated the Temple to God, the priests offered up thousands of sacrifices.  After the sacrifices were offered up - then the glory of God fell!  The glory of God was so thick and heavy that the priests could no longer minister!  Do you see the connection?  First the offerings - THEN the glory fell!
But this reality is not found only in the Old Covenant; it's also in the New Covenant.  After Messiah was sacrificed as the offering for the sins of the world at Calvary - came the resurrection, the Son of God, risen and glorified!  So clearly, there’s an important relationship between sacrifice and glory!
Can we see this relationship still operating even today?  I believe we can.  When we offer our bodies as living sacrifices; our future, our plans, our possessions and our lives, to the Lord - His glory begins to be revealed as His Spirit works in and through us. Called by Him to be more and more like Yeshua (Jesus), the people of God should be a people of sacrifice. Do you want to see the glory of God filling every aspect of your life?  Then lay your life upon the altar in surrender to His perfect will - you will watch in amazement as He takes your offering and turns it to a beautiful testimony of His glory!
