2 Corinthians 3:12-18 NIV — Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 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.

Why did Moses put a veil over his face? Take a moment to read about it in Exodus 34:29-35 NIV.

Moses covered his face after spending time with God because his face was radiant. Examine your response to the time you spend with God. How does your face look after you have spent time with God? Are others able to tell you have been in the presence of God? Are you radiant? What are you reflecting? 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for Your holy presence. Thank You for meeting me, moment to moment, guiding my steps, and always loving me. May my face show Your radiance. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
