Altar Building

S ~ Build for me an altar made of earth, and offer your sacrifices to me—your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats, and your cattle. Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you.  Exodus 20:24

O ~ Build an altar where His name is remembered, and God will come and bless you.

A ~ Scott Joy has pictures of rocks under his clear table cloth - stones of remembrance. I think journal entries have been a place of remembrance for me, but they are hidden altars. Unless I go back through my journals, I don’t revisit the altars. I need to have visible altars of remembrance where I call upon the name of the Lord. Perhaps a loose page, like a big bookmark, where I record and remember the faithfulness of God. Or a picture frame on my nightstand. Or a screensaver. Somewhere I regularly remember the faithfulness of the Lord.

P ~ Lord, I don’t want to forget all Your faithfulness because of how myopic my vision can become, focussed on the present. I want to remember. Please help me remember.
