Radiating Christ

“Those who look to him are radiant with joy, and their faces shall never be ashamed“. Psalm 34:5 CSB

Our home has a microwave that quit working properly after one of our children accidently left the door open for an unknown amount of hours. It functions backwards. Even the hot-plate spins in the opposite direction. When we pull open the door, the microwave begins to operate, blasting high, radioactive heat at its user. I wonder if the small rectangular box wants to be a square oven? I never minded the heated waves cooking my food to its desired temperature, but now, I am more concerned about our household being tempered and cooked by the microwave! Our electronic cooking device has its own malfunction without a single manual input of direction.

Much like our malfunctioning, radioactive microwave, I too, recognize when my heart and mind are left open to the world and away from the manual of God’s Word and direction for my life. I can easily malfunction or accidentally be set into the wrong direction of spinning, fleshly thoughts, and when this is permeated, it radiates from my heart, sending out waves of ungodliness. So, I must discern when my heart and mind are beginning to reset to a worldly defective, malfunction mode and not controlled by godly instruction mode. God desires that I function through him and with him. Without him, I am nothing but a shameful, self radiating, overheated microwave.

“Those who look to him are radiant with joy, and their faces shall never be ashamed“. Psalm 34:5 CSB

The psalmist knows his redeemer, his deliverer, and his instructor. God’s light and power reflects through those who keep their eyes on him. The Hebrew word for radiant, is nahar, which translates to “to beam, shine forth” and unveils a transformation resulting from looking to God for deliverance. This radiance comes from God’s presence. Similar to how Moses’ face shone after being in God’s presence.

“When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord.” Exodus 34:29 NIV

We too, who look to Christ, keeping his commands, can shine radiantly with joy, unashamed!
