Today I will build God’s altar in my heart everywhere I encounter His blessings and there offer prayers and the sacrifice of thanksgiving. This altar will remind me of daily decisions: to choose the Lord (Bethel-house of God) or to choose the world (Ai-heap of ruins), for I live between these two opposites.
Genesis 12:8
Abram traveled to the hill country east of Bethel and camped between Bethel and Ai, where he built another altar and worshiped the Lord.
Contemporary English Version
Today I will choose to build God’s altar in my heart.
