“…He was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord.” Exodus 34:29 NIV
Is it possible to work daily while in the presence of God? Can you have a consistent heart of gratitude and joy such that no matter the work challenge, you’re not moved? Is there a way to have all the answers to the most challenging work problems no matter how complex they can be?
I only get to experience this momentarily, but never all the time. Yet, there is truly nothing impossible. Being in the presence of God all the time and having the right attitude at work, solving problems on demand will surely make you look like a superstar.
Moses must have been perceived to be a God when he addressed the Israelites with his face glowing. They almost couldn’t look him in the eye because, at that point, he had become something they had never experienced before.
Your face may not glow literally as it was mentioned in Scripture, but it can in other ways. Here’s what I mean…
1. You have clarity amidst confusion
Everyone may be confused about what to do next, but you seem to have the right answer. The moment you say it, everyone just seems to agree and run with your suggestion becomes something about it feels right. People begin to wonder how you produced something so profound when even the bosses were clueless.
2. You move from obscurity to recognition
Your little efforts get amplified and your results multiply. It is not possible to come down from a mountain with your face glowing and no one sees you. Heads will turn to marvel at whom you have become. Those who disrespect you will be unable to look at you out of respect.
3. You become unique amidst copycats
People can wear the same luxury designs or drive similar expensive cars, but no one can model the glory that radiates around you when you enter the meeting room. Even your words are unmatched because they transcend beyond the human wisdom that others are proud of. You become the go-to source when nothing else works.
Living like this daily is a goal to achieve, a future to make a reality. You become unstoppable. But to exist in His presence every second of the day requires desire and discipline. This is the reality of some mentors and role models that we respect. One day, in the not-so-far future, it will be our reality too.
