Psalm 34

"Every face turned to him grows brighter
and is never ashamed."
Psalm 34:5

This phrase brings the story of Moses to mind. How his face was so bright with God's glory when he came down from the mountain after talking to God that the people were frieghtened. Oh how it mgiht have been different if instead of Moses covering his face he would instead have done everything possible to encourage others to join him and talk to God themselves.
Does my face shine with God's glory more than just with the reflection of my bald dead? Are people able to tell that I've spent time with God? Is my life an invitation to others to journey up the mountain to have their own encounter with the living God? Is there anything that I might be ashamed of because I have not faced God?
Is your face growing brighter from looking upon God?
