Psalm 34:5
Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
You can tell a lot about people by the expressions on their faces. You can tell if they are going through a tough time, having a bad day, having a good day or just generally happy. God set it up that way. Our faces tell so much about how we are feeling.
Now God has also set up a way for you to always release His Presence no matter what your circumstances are. You see, most people's emotions are based on their circumstances. The immediate situation they are in affects their moods, and thus the very expressions on their faces.
God wants you to remain at peace no matter what you are going through. This can be very difficult, I know. But learning to control our emotions as Christians is key to impacting the world around us. Now, when I say control our emotions, I am not talking with our own willpower. I am talking about handing your circumstances over to Jesus, and drawing your peace from Him.
And this is exactly what this verse is saying. When we look to God, who is so Good, Beautiful, Glorious and full of Love for us, something in us begins to change. And this change even affects our expression. When we look to Him, our faces begin to radiate. And this is more than just a big smile, the Glory of God radiates from our faces. Our happy faces carry more than a smile, they carry their very Glory of God!
I want to encourage you today friends... No matter what you are going through, no matter what you face, look up to your Saviour. Lift your head and look to your Father. Worship Him. See His Glory. Ask Him to show you His Glory. Whenever you get the chance. And when you do, your face will begin to radiate with His Glory. People will see with their own eyes the difference about you. And they will want it.
