The Glory
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of testimony in the hands of Moses, when he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.
- Exodus 34:29
Moses spent forty days in the mountains with God. When he finally returned to camp with the Ten Commandments inscribed on stones, he had to cover his face because it shone with the glory of God (Exodus 34:33). Moses shone with the tangible presence of God--everyone who looked upon Him knew He had been with God.
If you will leave everything else behind . . . if you will be bold and persevere in your time of prayer, God will meet with you and talk with you just as He did with Moses. Second Corinthians 3:14-18 tells us that the veil covering our hearts is removed when we turn to the Lord and reflect His glory.
Stay in the mountain with God until you shine with His glory. Don't leave your house without His presence. Get in the mountain with God and receive His glory. Remember that you reflect His glory; you do not shine with your own glory.
Jesus, I declare Your glory, I desire to stay in Your presence so that I may reflect Your glory. Change me from glory to glory. Amen.
