The Time God Made Someone Glow in the Dark ✨

(From Exodus 34:29-35)

When it comes to dramatic transformations, Moses has one of the coolest stories in the Bible. After spending time in God’s presence, the man literally started glowing like a divine light bulb.

The Glow-Up Moment

Moses had just finished a 40-day meeting with God on Mount Sinai, where he received the Ten Commandments (again—long story). When he came back down to the Israelites, they noticed something unusual: Moses’ face was shining with a radiant glow.

But this wasn’t just a subtle shimmer—it was so intense that it freaked everyone out. Imagine trying to have a normal conversation while your face beams like a flashlight.

The Veil Solution

To ease the Israelites’ discomfort, Moses started wearing a veil over his face whenever he wasn’t speaking directly with God. This way, people could approach him without being blinded by his holy glow. It became a pattern:

• He’d unveil his face while chatting with God.
• Afterward, he’d cover up before addressing the people.

It was like Moses had his own version of a spiritual hazmat suit.

The Lesson

Moses’ radiant face symbolized the transformative power of being in God’s presence. It’s a reminder that spending time with God can change us—maybe not into glowing beings, but in ways that others notice.

Takeaway:

A little time with God can leave you spiritually radiant. While you might not need sunscreen, you can shine with kindness, love, and peace that impact those around you.

Fun Thought:

If Moses were around today, he’d probably start his own skincare line called “Holy Glow by Moses”—tagline: “Because nothing beats 40 days in God’s presence for that radiant look!”

So, the next time life feels a bit dull, take a page from Moses’ book: spend some quality time with God and let your inner light shine!
