We walk through life and carry the things that happen to us.  We all have Altars and each Altar has a foundation that it is built on.  The problem that happens to us is when we accept Christ, a lot of times we just place him as a part of our Altar and not the foundation.  How do we do this?  The question is easy to ask but the process is hard to swallow.  We have to take who we believe we are and release all of it to God.  By doing that our Altar is destroyed and then we can create a new one that God helps design. You see what priest of old times did to build their Altar’s was search for each perfect stone.  They used no tools to build their Altar’s or shape the stones they found.  This gave them quality relational time with God.  We need that in our life, we need to recognize what our foundation is and then ask God after revealing it, that he would destroy it.  When our Altar’s foundation is based on Christ, what grows from it is Christ’s love and Grace.  Therefore, as my Pastor says we move from saying ” King Me” to ” Serve Him.”  I have learned that we as humans have within us a Throne and a Cross, it is our choice of who or what we put in each of those.  We must choose to place Christ in the throne because he has already defeated the cross and we must sacrifice our old self, flesh and sinful nature on that cross.  Amen & Amen
