LOVING GOD'S PRESENCE - MOSES' STORY
Exodus 34:29 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 you spend a lot of time with the same people in your life, you will reflect their likeness, habits, attitudes and character. Moses was a man that loved to be in the presence of God. Moses would spend hours or days seeking and dwelling in the presence of God. When Moses finished seeking God and went to see the Israelites, his face would be glowing with the glory of God. People had to put a veil over Moses' head because he was shining too brightly for the eye to see. Moses was full of God and people around him could see and sense it. We read that Moses went back to seek God again after spending time with the people. Moses just cannot get enough of God. He loved the presence of God so much that nothing could draw him away from God.
The more time we spend with God, the more we will be like God in our thoughts, attitudes, behaviour and actions. Connection with God, through daily devotion, prayer, reading scriptures, worship and obeying His words, will transform ourselves and the people around us. We need to practice seeking and dwelling in the presence of God so we can have what Moses had - a deep personal encounter with God's glory.
We are called to be our representative on earth and we can truly represent God if we spend time building strong intimacy and relationship with God like Moses and reflect God to people around us.
