Radiant face...

Radiant face...

I was reading this am about Moses as he went a second time to the mount to receive the  commandments in stone...he had broken the first set over the sin in the camp when he came down from the mountain ....

The second time, he was different. His face shone, radiant, as he had been in the presence of the Lord again....

It just got me to wondering,  do I ever shine so much that people know I have spent time with God...am I being transformed more and more into His likeness...do others even know I am a Christian? What to do I do to show Christ in my life?  Or is my earthly/worldly life more overpowering ....

There are others that I know are Christians by their lives, their love as they shine brilliantly ....and am drawn to them...just to feel the presence of God in their lives...their goals, their illuminating personalities ....their gifts which they use....they are radiant...being transformed...

Do I let God's light shine?

Thank YOU for your radiance...your transforming power...



“Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. Put the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Place. Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
Exodus 26:31-35

The radiant face of Moses...
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord.
When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and he spoke to them. Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.
When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. But whenever he entered the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out.
And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.
Exodus 34:29-35

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split....
Matthew 27:51

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
Hebrews 6:19

Hebrews9 and 10

But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:16-18
