There are many religions that use altars, but for God's people it is more than just a place of sacrifice. The altar is a place where we can go and visit with the Lord. It is a place where most often we hear and encounter Jesus in a more personal way.
Has your time at the altar changed you? How? Oh, I want to hear those testaments. I want to hear of how God spoke to you when you met Him at the altar.
Why do we not go the altar more? Have we become so concerned with what others would say, that we stay in our pew?
Why, why is the altar not full?
I will admit there have been times I have gone to the altar and began laying my heart out before the Lord, but have felt rushed, hurried, as though the music was going to stop and I would be the only one left there. Please tell me you have felt the same way.
I hate that feeling! I just cannot begin to tell you that this sinner, needs more than a couple of minutes at the altar with Jesus.
Will there ever come a time when the altars are full, full of people desperate to hear from Jesus. Desperate to give Him praise?
Jesus we need You, we are desperate for You. Show us just how important the altar is to You. In Jesus name amen
