Well then God must be very dramatic... to give someone Ebola, just to reveal his glory...
God spoke the world into existence. . .you can’t get more dramatic than that, He is in charge of our next breath, and the Bible says that EVERY knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Prepare! http://www.patburt.com/

1. GOD is GOOD all the time. All the time GOD is good.
2. Satan comes to seek, kill, and destroy.
3. God works all things for good for those who love the Lord according to His purpose for them.
4. Give God the glory!
That is a typical atheistic superficial understanding of theology expressed in their scorn, but what Scripture teaches is that God does not seek glory or do things out of some need for it, but instead, God commands worship, esp. from His covenanted people as it is right and necessary to worship and live for what is alone perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
If you had a fearful or independent willful son in the jungle, you would not admonish him to follow and obey you due to ego, and may display your strength and skill to teach him what he should value and who he should trust, rather than some vain thing. Likewise you would hope your daughter would admire your good wife versus the loose women next door. What we trust, love and admire most will determine our actions.
And what is best for man is to worship and thus live for God, for setting your ultimate affection and allegiance upon, or finding your ultimate security in anything created will fail you. Whatever that is, is our god, at least at that moment, and what we worship orders our life's and what we wil become.
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us... (Ephesians 5:1-2)
You need to read the story of Job.
