Radiance Of The Glory Of The Lord

Exodus 33:19-20

The Lord replied, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out My Name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. But you may not look directly at My face, for no one may see Me and live."

So God hid Moses in the cleft of the rock and covered him with His hand (v. 22), and Moses was permitted to hear the grand procession, and see Yahweh from behind, as He passed by. (Our human eyes cannot even look at the Sun without damage--looking directly at Yahweh would probably burn us up!)

And when Moses came down from the mountain, he didn't realize it, but his face glowed with the radiance of the Glory of the Lord (v. 29).

O my Father in Heaven, as Moses' face shone with Your glory, having been in Your very presence, may my life also shine with the radiance of Your glory as I spend time in Your presence each day. 

May Your Light shine through my attitudes and thinking processes and the decisions I make to do what needs to be done each day. Let others see Your Light in my life, and be drawn to Your glorious radiance, Your love and compassion, Your mercy and grace. 

Make my life a channel of Your blessings and Your light shining through me to draw others to You out of their misery and sorrow. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
