"...Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone..." Exodus 34:29
Henry Drummond in addressing an assembly of women said, "after you have been kind-after love has stolen forth into the world and done its beautiful work, go back into the shade again and say nothing about it." I once heard Rendel Harris say of the Bible critics, "They may tear the volume to shreds, but they can never rub off the light of God from the faces of His people." It was seraphic Murray McCheyne who said, "Oh, for the holy shining of the face! and oh, for the holy ignorance of the shining." An old woman opened a conversation with a man on a trolley car. "Are you a minister of religion?" she asked. "No," he said with a smile, "but why do you ask?" "Because, sir, you have a Bible face."
Robert Louis Stevenson asked God to forgive him if he had not shown "a morning face."
I thought this was really challenging and encouraging. When was the last time you heard anyone say someone had a "Bible face"?
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
