Morning by Morning, September 22 - With an Unveiled Face, Seeing the Glory of the Lord
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Thank You for drawing me near to walk more closely with You on my journey of faith and life in You -- morning by morning, moment by moment, one day at a time. ...
“Since, then, we have such a hope, we act with great boldness, not like Moses, who put a veil over his face to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of the glory that was being set aside. But their minds were hardened. Indeed, to this very day, when they hear the reading of the old covenant, that same veil is still there, since only in Christ is it set aside. Indeed, to this very day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their minds; but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:12-18).
In Christ, the veil is set aside. And “only in Christ is it set aside” (v. 14). And now, there is no veil between us. Now, there is nothing to separate us. Now, I can look up and behold You, “seeing the glory of the Lord” with an “unveiled” face, with an unhindered heart, because You’ve opened the eyes of my heart to see You by Your Spirit (Ephesians 1:18).
And as I behold You, as I seek You and see Your glory in worship, in prayer, in the communion of the intimacy of Your Presence, I’m being “transformed into (Your) image” (2 Corinthians 3:18). You’re making me more like You every day, in every moment that I open up and look up to You to behold Your glory. For we become like the One we worship -- “from degree of glory to another” -- “from glory to glory” (v. 18 KJV).
Thank You for removing the veil at the Cross, Lord Jesus (Matthew 27:51). Thank You for removing the veil from my heart, Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18). Thank You for removing the veil of all that would ever separate me from the love of God through the Self-less Sacrifice of Your Only Begotten Son, my Heavenly Father (John 3:16).
Keep changing me, keep transforming me, keep making me more like You every day, “from glory to glory,” every morning and every moment. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
