Show Me Your Glory

Share this Devotion:

Hudson Taylor, missionary to China, said, “We are changed by beholding.” He may have had 2 Corinthians 3:18 in mind. “But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”
For years each January I took some time with God to ask Him what He wanted me to pray for the year. And for years, the answer was the same, “Show me Your glory.” When you come face to face with God’s holy glory, you do one of two things: run away or run to His grace for transformation.
Ponder the prayer requests of Moses: “Let me know Your ways that I may know You. Show me Your glory. Go among us (Exo. 33:11-19, 34:5-10).” Isaiah was changed by beholding the glory of God, the awesome revelation of His holiness (Isa. 6:1-8)  As you behold His glory, make Psalm 51:10-11 your prayer: “Renew my spirit” from glory to glory.
Just between you and God, pray through these transformation points in the verses below. Tell God you want a new beginning of His glory and His Spirit unhindered in your life.

Show me Your glory.
Go among us.
Renew my heart from glory to glory by Your Spirit.
