2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NKJV)
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Reflections:
It�s interesting to note that in the Old Testament the Israelites wanted Moses to put a veil on his face because they couldn�t handle the glory of God that was beaming from his face. He had so soaked in God�s presence on Mount Sinai, for forty days and nights, that his face shone very brightly (Ex 34:29-35).
In our verse today we read, �But we with unveiled face.� Hallelujah, we don�t need a veil! As we press in and behold the beauty of the Lord, and His holiness, we too soak up His transforming glory into our spirit and as a result � we are changed! The more time we spend in His presence, the more we are changed! And you know what? People can actually see it on us!
I notice that as I personally spend intimate time alone with God that it affects absolutely everything about me � the way I think � the way I respond to people � the words I speak � everything is affected! Glory in -- Glory out. Now, how about that for a spiritual success formula�!
A dear brother once gave me a very special gift. It�s a short saying in a simple gold picture frame that hangs in the center of my office wall at home:
