Exodus 34:29 “It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him.”

Seriously? Really? He didn’t know his face was shining? Well, For the past forty days and nights Moses had been so focused on hearing from God that he can forgotten about himself. The glory of the Lord was so bright and glorious that his eyes had become accustomed to the glow. So as the Lord released him to return to the people with the Second Edition of the Ten Commandments (lol) the glow was normal for him.

Dads, is the glow of Christ on you? Moms, does your face shine with the glory of God? Are your children seeing the “glory glow” on you? Do they shy away from approaching you because of the powerful presence of God that they see in you?

If you are like me, that is probably NOT the case. There have been times when I felt that glow. But those times seem too infrequent. You see the problem is we aren’t spending the time we need with God to absorb the glow. Moses had spent forty uninterrupted days with God. He had absorbed His radiance. Now, I know you can’t spend forty days alone with God. But how about forty minutes? I bet if you did, you would absorb enough of His radiance from His Word that your kids could tell a difference. What do you think?
