[The Glory Unveiled]
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. ( Exodus 34:29)
Anyone who has been with the word of God long enough becomes identical with the nature of God which is the glory of God. When we behold him, we become like him. Anytime we speak with the LORD, in the fellowship of prayer or the study of the word, we become radiant like God. The word of God that we collide with in the place of intimate fellowship cleanses us and makes us radiant (Ephesians 5:26). Moses became glorious because he had been with the King of glory. We become identical to whatever we associate with for a long time. So the reason why we don’t look like what we want is probably because we don’t stay too long with what we want. Do you want to be a journalist, for example? Stay with scripts, events and the news. Read more, learn about the rules of language and communication. You cannot be watching how to do makeups or fishing everyday if you want to become a journalist or a preacher or some other profession. Your passion must reflect skills and activities that has bearing on what you stay with most of the time. Every great man was once in the secret place of his or her greatness and calling. Nothing just happens. Another lesson we could squeeze out from the verse above is the fact that Moses didn’t know himself that he was radiant. This describes humility and commitment. If we would become glorious in the area of our calling and purposes, we need to be committed and humble too.
Prayer_Bead: King of glory, thank you for the opportunity to be committed to my calling and purpose. Teach me the secret to the secret place of light and illumination.
