""The LORD appeared to Abram and said, 'To your offspring I will give this land.' So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.""
Every great move of God in scripture began with someone building an altar. Abraham didn't wait until he had a perfect life or a finished journey — he built an altar in the middle of a divine encounter.
An altar is a place of consecration, a marker that says, "God met me here." It is a place where we give back to God what He has given us: our time, our worship, our obedience.
What does your spiritual altar look like today? Is it your morning prayer time? Your private worship? The place in your home where you meet God consistently?
Application
Set apart a specific time and place today for undistracted communion with God. Mark that moment as sacred. The altars we build in private become the foundations of the victories we experience in public.
"Where there is no altar, there is no encounter. Where there is no encounter, there is no transformation."
Build your altar today. God is waiting to meet you there.
