Extreme Makeover

We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.

2 Corinthians 3:18

In the Old Testament, when God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, Moses was allowed to catch a glimpse of the unique splendor of God's actual presence. This experience was so profound that Moses's face literally glowed as a result. The Israelites who followed Moses were frightened by the change in his appearance and by a God who could transform someone in that way. But Moses's transformation was temporary. At first Moses veiled his face so that the people would no longer be afraid. Later he wore the veil to conceal the fact that his personal evidence of God's glory was fading away.

God's glory refers both to God's unfathomable beauty and to his incomparable expression of power. As you look into God's mirror, which is a biblical synonym that stands for the Bible, you glimpse what Moses did. You see God. Unlike Moses, the reflection of God's glory in you will never fade. In fact, it will continue to shine brighter as time goes by. You are not being transformed into God; you are being transformed into a sharper reflection of his image.

This means you don't need to hide behind a veil when you're with others. Be honest and authentic, freely sharing how God is working in your life. In this way, you become a spiritual mirror for those around you as you grow to look more and more like your heavenly Father.

As God became more visible in you, you'll find that people are naturally attracted to you - not simply because of the wonderful way God created you, but because of how glorious God is.

Pray for freedom from the "distractions of the enemy" that come from this earthly life so we may be prepared to embrace the beauty of God's awesome power. Transformation is God's mercy and grace upon our earthly bodies so we may experience His awe inspiring love and beauty on earth as it will be in heaven. Let us not be so "busy" with our earthly duties that we do not take time to honor our Lord and Savior with prayer and mediate in his words that transform us into His children - the Bible. ~ MME Team
