Spend time in prayer and silence with God, asking Him to meet with you and speak to you.
Bible Reading
Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ it is taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
– 2 Corinthians 3:12-18
Devotion
When our hearts turn to the Lord (accept Him in faith) the veil (spiritual blindness) is taken away. Man’s trouble is heart trouble. We are all blinded because of sin in our life. When we are willing to turn from our sin and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, the blindness is removed. Only the Spirit of God can remove this blindness. The Spirit of God takes the things of Christ and reveals them to us. The Spirit of God brings us into the place of liberty. The Spirit doesn’t put us back under the law. When He does, we see Jesus in all His glory as the Son of God. This revelation is life-changing! As we gaze upon His face in this way, He transforms us as He conforms us into His own likeness.
The Big Question
Have you turned from your sin and trusted in the person and work of Christ for your soul’s salvation? How is the Holy Spirit revealing Christ to you? Are you still trying to live your life by keeping the Law? What did Paul mean when He wrote, “The Spirit of God brings us into the place of liberty?” In what ways are you being transformed into the image of Christ?
Conclude your time in prayer and silence, reflecting on what God revealed to you today.
