(S)cripture-
2 Cor. 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
(O)bservation-
Paul is comparing contemporary believers in the New Covenant with Moses - Moses wore a veil to hide his own fading glory as he got older but we as believers are to have unveiled faces to reflect God's glory and not hide it. Christ came to this earth and shined with all of God's glory and radiance. As believers, we are being transformed every day to be a little more like Christ and therefore a better reflection of God's glory. God sent His Holy Spirit to help guide us in our lives and enable this transformation.
(A)pplication-
I want to be a reflection of God's glory and to not hide that. I look forward to every day with anticipation of how God will use me and lead me through His Holy Spirit. All my life will be a work in progress - it is a journey and not a destination. I want to become and fulfill everything that God intended for me - to live every day as a product of His handiwork, being continually transformed into His likeness and reflecting more and more of His glory that He showed us through Christ His Son.
(P)rayer-
Father, help me to be a reflection of Your glory - to not hide that but be a witness to others. Please do Your work in me and use me to glorify Your Holy Name as You lead me through Your Holy Spirit. Lord, I am completely Yours and look forward to the transformation process so that every day I can become a little more like You. I love and praise You and pray these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
