Altar'd
Description
Altars have always represented change. They are the places where sacred space meets our surrender and leads to authentic spiritual transformation. From the beginning of time, God's people have built altars to mark the places where God spoke, gave direction, or gave His blessing. It is the place where God's people surrendered offerings to Him in obedience. In the New Testament, Jesus became that surrendered offering, but He also became the place-in His person-for those who were hurting, lost, and who longed to encounter God. In the midst of a world filled with chaos and disappointment, pain and death, there is a promise of restoration and transformation. However, it isn't found at the end of our lives, but at the end of ourselves. It is found when we embrace surrender. This daily reader will awaken obedient hearts and minds to the transforming power of a surrendered life.
