LET. Wielded by the Holy Spirit, this tiny word had a huge impact on Martha’s life, and the adventure can be yours, too, if you just LET God be GOD.

2 Corinthians 3:18 ESV
And we all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.
What do we behold when we turn our eyes toward Jesus?
The glory of the Lord.
How are we transfigured?
The glory of the Lord.
What is the glory? The glory of the Lord is the very Being of God in all His splendor, in all His attributes and power. The door is amazingly wide open into the glory of God in Christ—to the ‘unveiled’, those who have repented and turned to depend on God for forgiveness, healing, righteousness.
The glory of God was unbearable in the Old Testament. Isaiah couldn’t endure experiencing it until he was cleansed. Moses wasn’t allowed to SEE the glory of God except as He had passed by.
But Jesus Christ bears the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God… And we – who have been cleansed – are invited in to experience that unspeakable glory in our hearts!
