January 29, 2016 Bible Study — Can People Tell We Speak With God Just By Looking At Us?

I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading. I had been using One Year Bible Online, but it was time for a change.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Exodus 33-35.

    When Moses came down off Mt Sinai after chiseling the second set of God’s commandments to the children of Israel, his face glowed. This was the result of Moses speaking with God. After this, Moses face contained this glow whenever he talked with God. The result of this was that the people were afraid to speak with Moses unless he covered his face with a veil. From that day on Moses covered his face with a veil except when he went into the Tabernacle to speak with God.
    I do not want to belittle what is described here, but have you ever met a person you know speaks with God regularly just by looking at them? I have. I don’t think I would describe it as a glow, but there is something about such people. You probably won’t be able to put your finger on it, but there are people who you recognize there is something special about when you first meet them. After talking with them a short time you realize that what you saw was the visible representation of their walk with God. If people do not have that reaction to you, it is time to get serious about your relationship with God. I have once or twice had people react to me that way. However, I know that my walk today is not where it should be, where it will cause people to look at me and know that I walk with God.
