Glory

“--but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distressed, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger, in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, in the Word of Truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, for the right hand and the left, by glory..” from II Corinthians 6:1-10

The tone of this changed when we went to more action...so now we are commending ourselves as servants of God by glory. Surely not our glory, but His. And how do others see His glory today? By staying in His presence and exposing ourselves to His glory and Truth.

“And it came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain) that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him. So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.” Exodus 34:29-30

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
