RAISE AN ALTAR FOR GOD

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Thursday 7th November 2019

TOPIC :  RAISE AN ALTAR FOR GOD

TEXT: "Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my

exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God" (Psalms 43:4).

The word altar comes from a word in the Hebrew that literally means slaughter or sacrifice. In the

Old Testament, people built altars and would

slaughter their most valuable livestock upon

them as a sacrifice to God.  And when these sacrifices are made God shows up in glory. Today and in the

New Testament, our altars are our places of prayer where we lay our lives down before the Lord and “slaughter” or hand our will over to the

Lord. What is powerful about our own personal altar experiences is that when we give the things we hold as “valuable,” God uses that sacrificial

experience from our hearts to pull out of our lives the things we desperately want to see removed. He takes away the sin habits, the curses, and the things that weigh us down. As you pray before the Lord, take a moment to

create an altar. Perhaps it’s just kneeling down

in front of a chair or sofa and letting the Lord know that you have come to give Him every part of you. The key is make it something that is

meaningful for you. It’s a refreshing experience that everyone needs, so take some time and

create an altar today.
