Lead Like Moses Devotional 29

EXODUS 34:29| 29 Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.

2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 | 18 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.

Great leaders are in touch with God! They seek divine connection, and prioritize moments of inspiration in which they seek communication and instruction directly from Him. Moses went up the mountain for this purpose, and wonderfully, his face shone with a touch of divine glory after his encounters. The ten commandments were revealed to Moses by Yahweh, not invented by a committee of clerics!

Ask God to speak to you, to reveal His will and spend some prayer time just listening. Learn to recognize the thoughts and ideas that come to you as gifts from Him. His glorious, glowing light is transferable—as Paul stresses in 2 Corinthians 3:18.

Do you listen for divine direction?
