When Moses came down from Mount Sinai
with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord.
Exodus 34:29 (NIV)
When I crawl out of bed in the morning and look in the bathroom mirror, I don’t usually see radiance. Sometimes I see dark circles and an attitude of resignation—that is, I may not even make it through the day heavily fueled by caffeine.
What I desire, Lord, is to wake up with hope in my soul and praise on my lips. I want to be so drenched in Your Holy Presence that people can sense it in my spirit and see it radiate on my face. Whether I have makeup on or not!
Questions for Pondering…
Have people ever told me that they knew I was a Christian before I had even told them?
Was it because of the Lord shining through me?
