Flow in the Glow

Today’s key verse is taken from the daily Bible reading plan at BibleInAYearOnline.com

You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. - Psalm 16:11 (NLT)

There are moments in life that leave a lasting impression.

One of those moments came during a mission trip to India. As the plane landed and we stepped into the crowded airport, everything around us felt dark and overwhelming. There was noise, confusion, and an atmosphere that seemed spiritually heavy.

Then, across the terminal, we saw a group of young people who had come to meet us. We had never met them before, yet something immediately stood out.

It wasn't the way they were dressed. It wasn't anything they said. It was the joy on their faces.

There was a peace...a light...a genuine warmth that was unmistakable. Before anyone introduced themselves, we knew they belonged to Jesus.

That experience reminded me of what Moses said in Exodus 33:15: "Your presence among us sets Your people apart."

It has always been God's presence that makes His people different.

Later, after Moses spent time with the Lord, his face literally shone because he had been in God's presence.

The same principle is true for us today.

People may never see a visible glow on our faces, but they should experience something different in our lives. Our words, our attitudes, our peace, and our love should reflect the One we spend time with.

The more we walk with Jesus, the more His character shines through us.

Reflection Question: How can you intentionally make more room for God's presence in your daily life so His light shines through you?

Prayer: Father, thank You for the incredible gift of Your presence. We don't want to simply know about You, we want to walk closely with You every day. Fill our hearts with Your peace, Your joy, and Your love. Let Your presence transform us so that others see Jesus in the way we live, speak, and serve. May our lives reflect Your light everywhere we go. In Jesus Name, Amen.
