Don't Forsake the Altar

 THE ALTAR was the largest and highest piece of furniture  in the Tabernacle.  

THE ALTAR was the first thing seen when entering.  

THE ALTAR was a place of repentance, a place of sacrifice,  and a place of death.

One could go no further without FIRST visiting THE ALTAR. 

THE ALTAR is still an extremely important piece in our walk with God. 

It is at THE ALTAR that we confess our sins before God.

It is at THE ALTAR that we sacrifice our own will, our own desires and our own ways to submit them to God's.  

It is at THE ALTAR that we crucify that old sinful nature. 

It should be the FIRST place we go as we enter into the Presence of God through prayer. 

Don't ever bypass THE ALTAR.

We need to visit THE ALTAR every day. 

Don't forsake THE ALTAR.
