On this side of the cross, we may not be familiar with altar sacrifice as worship, but make no mistake about it, we are people of the altar. Altars become memorial stones in our history that remind us who God is and what God has done. When famines happen around us, our altars help to ground us into the reality of which kingdom we actually belong to.

Abraham was an altar-builder, but when he encountered a famine in the land God had brought him to, Abraham abandoned his altars and moved from a place of fear and reason...moving out of the Promised Land and into Pharaoh's land. There were consequences for abandoning his altars. We can learn much from Abraham's actions in Genesis 12:7-13:4.
