The life of Moses was filled with interesting, amazing, and even miraculous events. One seemingly small yet also incredible event is recorded in Exodus 34:29: “When Moses came down from Mount Sinai…Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.” After being so close to the glory of God, Moses’ face literally shone. What this looked like, we can only imagine, but what an amazing (and frightening) sight it must have been. Moses’ shining face teaches a beautiful lesson. Remember what we read—Moses’ face shone “because he had been talking with God.”
We can’t talk with God the way Moses did, and our faces won’t shine miraculously, but are there ways that others can tell we’ve been talking with God? Do our lives demonstrate we regularly read God’s Word and spend time with God in prayer? Can others see that we have been talking with God?
