Thurs.’s Devo - The Shining Glory of God

Read Ex. 34:27-35 According to medical science your body can’t live 40 days without water and food, but supernaturally you can run through a troop and leap over a wall so you can go 40 days without food and water. Which is what Moses did. He entered into heavenly places where earthly laws aren’t effective. During this fast he wrote and wrote on stone tablets. He descended from the mountain with the tablets and a new countenance that shone so brightly it scared the people and he had to vail his face. Spending time with God will cause you to wear his glory. I believe we are going to come to a time when those who love God and spend time with him will shine again… literally. I want to be one of those people. New Age people know that we all have a certain glory they call aura. They actually have it right. We do carry a glory that has color and as we are purified in God’s presence it will be white. Job 11 says that the righteous shall shine like the morning. Ecclesiastes 8 says that a man’s wisdom causes a man’s face to shine. Dan. 12 says this about the last days: “3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Jesus said in Matt 5:16, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Again Jesus was talking about the last days in Matt. 13:43, saying, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” Phil. 2:43 says the same thing. And last of all, Jesus was transfigured on the mountain and his face shone as the sun. Even his clothes shone. Lord, shine through us today and show your glory to bring many to you.
