We can be emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually moved by any number of events. Lately I have been overwhelmed by watching my grandchildren perform to their best ability in school plays and on the athletic fields. We also can experience many touching feelings while watching our favorite team play or by undertaking in a community event.
Peter, James and John were overwhelmed by terror at something they saw. Jesus had taken them up on the mountain and there He was transfigured so that “his face shone like the sun, and his clothes become white as light.” On top of that these three disciples were suddenly enveloped in a bright cloud and heard a voice from inside the cloud. Matthew 17:5-7 says, “He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.’ When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. But Jesus came and touched them.”
Don’t wait for a bright cloud or a voice from heaven to worship God and behold His glory. Let Jesus touch your life at every moment. Open your heart and your eyes to behold the glory of God in His creation and in the mighty works that He is doing around you. Let your ears be opened to hear what God is speaking to you through His Word and by His Spirit. You will be awestruck at His wonders and His glory.
