​January 22 - Goodness Will Change Your Countenance

“…Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.” (Exodus 34:29, ESV) 

One thing that seems to have been on the mind of Moses was the glory of God.  He encountered that glory at the burning bush.  He encountered that glory every time he went up the mountain to speak with God.  Yet in his heart, he wanted to experience more of God’s glory.  “Show me your glory!” was his request. “Behold, my goodness!” was God’s response.

Isn’t it interesting that of all the times spent in God’s glory, it was seeing God’s goodness that changed Moses’ countenance!?  Maybe this is what the church needs today—a fresh revelation of God’s goodness that changes our countenance!  Imagine what this would do to the world if they were to see a Church transformed by seeing God’s goodness!

Prayer:  “God, once again I ask: reveal Your goodness to me and transform my countenance so that the world sees Christ in me, the hope of glory.

Pause & Reflect:  Time alone with God is where this transformation happens.
