Glow

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be in the presence of God?  How would it change you?

Exodus 33 tells of a time that Moses asked for that exact opportunity.  Moses asks to see God's glory...to be in His presence.  God speaks directly to Moses.  Moses encounters God.  And when he met God, he was visibly changed.  At the end of Exodus 34, Moses comes down from Mount Sinai, and his face was actually shining..."glowing".

I believe that we can experience the presence of God even today.  One way is through soaking in His Word...pouring over God's words that were written to speak directly to us.  Another significant way is through worship...to bow and worship Him with reverence and awe and adoration.  Both foster a meeting of our hearts with our Father's.  Focusing solely on Him.  Drawing close to Him.

Do we spend so much time with God that we literally shine from His presence?  Are we changed so much that people see God radiating through our lives?  Do we GLOW with the glory of God?
