MOSES: FASTING, PRAYER AND TRANSFORMATION

The book of Exodus records the first fast mentioned in the Bible. Moses had met with the Lord on Mt. Sinai for forty days and nights and had supernaturally been given the ability to fast completely during this time. He had important work to do in recording the words of the Lord and bringing back the Ten Commandments. Scripture notes something remarkable about this experience.

When Moses returned to the camp to deliver the tablets to the Israelites, he was completely unaware of the fact that his face was radiant with what the Bible calls “shekinah” glory. Moses was transformed and radiated some of God’s own glory, something the Israelites had never witnessed before in Moses. When we spend time seeking the Lord through prayer and fasting, we are placing ourselves in a position to listen to Him, to be changed by Him, and to reflect Him to others.

How would those around you be impacted by this kind of transformation in your countenance? Pray that God will be seen in and through you the more you seek Him.
