"Altars once symbolized humility and sacrifice, but now we construct altars to our own egos, offering nothing but expecting endless blessings."
The Bible, however, paints a picture of the altar as a sacred place of continual surrender and praise.
In Hebrews chapter thirteen, verse fifteen:
"Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name." This verse flips our modern mindset by showing that true worship isn’t about receiving; it’s about giving—praising God with sincerity, speaking His truth, and centering our lives on Him instead of ourselves.
Are you ready to trade the altar of self for the altar of praise?
