Devotion 11/13, Open My Eyes Lord
“Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.”
Exodus 34:29
Moses serves as an important example for you and me. Moses was a man chosen to go before God on behalf of his people and relay the will and heart of God back to them. And by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we are now chosen and transformed to live out the same calling. In 1 Peter 2:9 Peter declares that we are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that we may proclaim the excellencies of him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.” We are to operate in the same capacity that Moses did. We are to be children of God that bear the image of our heavenly Father and declare his grace, love, power, and goodness to a world in desperate need of relationship with him.
May God draw us closer to him, and give us eyes to see his face today.
May Jesus’ declaration about you in Matthew 5:14-16 serve as a constant reminder of your new calling here as a child of the living God:
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Lord, I pray you might open my eyes to see your face, my ears to hear your voice, and open my heart that I may love like you. Lord, I pray I’m drawn closer to you today, that I can better serve you in all I say and do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
