Psalm 119:135

Psalm 119:135 “Make Your face shine upon Your servant and teach me Your decrees.”
 

David is basically asking the Lord; Give me a sense of Your approval. Let me know by the testimony of Your Spirit, in my conscience, that I am reconciled to You. The goldy throughout all the ages have derived their happiness from a consciousness of divine favor. The witness of God’s Spirit in the souls of believers is an essential principal in religion today, as it has always been. The greatest need people have is to know that God approves of them. “Restore us, O God; make Your face shine upon us, that we may be saved” Psalm 80:3. The face of God shines out of darkness.
 

When His face shines upon us, it is a sign that we have passed from darkness to light. When Moses spoke to God face to face, the radiance of God glowed on his face. The glory of God was too strong for others to handle. Therefore, Moses was asked to put a veil over his face. What is the radiance og God? It is Jesus! 

2 Corinthians 4:6 tells us, “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of the darkness,’ made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus.” Jesus is the glory of God. To have Him in your heart is to reflect Him in your face. There should be a radiance to our lives. 

“Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame” Psalm 34:5. The face that lacks Jesus is a face full of shame. When Jesus shines His face on us, it removes the shame. It causes us to know that one day when we all stand before Him, there will be no shame. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord makes His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace” Numbers 6:24-26. 
 

Now let me encourage you to take some time to meditate on this verse; as you do, ask to shine upon you.   Continued
