The sections I cited would certainly illuminate the ways God does share His glory.There is glory, and there is GLORY.

You did illustrate one of them.

Romans 1:23
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man...

The next line following the verse you quoted, says that their offense was "worshiping" the creature rather than the Creator.

That would be giving glory to a false god, which, as I said before, God will never approve.

That doesn't at all contradict God's freedom in glorifying His saints, which is one of the frequently-repeated themes of Paul's Epistles.

You have to distinguish between honoring/venerating (dulia) and worshiping/adoring (latria). As you said, there's glory and then there's GLORY.
