Moses

Exodus 34:29-35; 2 Corinthians 3:15-18

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, his face was radiant because he had been in the presence of God. His appearance was transformed by what he had beheld. Just like Moses reflected God’s glory, we too are shaped by whatever captures the attention of our souls. Whether it’s success, wealth, relationships, social media, or God Himself, what we consistently focus on will inevitably shape us. What are you becoming based on what you’re beholding?
