Seeing God’s Glory

All of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

2 Corinthians 3:18

AFTER MOSES SPENT time with God in the tent of meeting, his face literally glowed from the encounter. It shone so brightly that when he stepped out of the tent, people could not look at him directly. He learned that if he wanted to go out in public after worshiping, he had to place a veil over his face so people could stand to look at him.

That was then, though, and this is now. Today, God puts that same glorious glow on some of us who worship him with fervor, intimacy, and true abandon. To the world, we just look happy, enjoy life, and talk about God’s greatness. We don’t glow literally, but something about us is different. One man said of Christians, “Something about their eyes is different.”

What is it? He expounded, “It’s like they have this inner light, like there’s real joy and peace inside them.”

Would you like to have that kind of glory of God evident in your life? Meet with the Lord daily. Get to know him intimately. Your life, he promises, will reflect his glory; you will bask in it, and the world will see it.
