Broken Dreams Become an Altar

 When the storms of life come, the hard times, the perplexing times, when there is psychological confusion, emotional pain, spiritual uncertainty, physical weakness or disease, and financial calamity, I will take each one like logs of a fire and build an altar.

I will lay the sacrifice of my soul upon this altar and call upon the Name of my Lord Yehovah, my creator. I will lie there waiting in faith, hope and love until the fire falls and consumes my offering made wet a hundred times over with my tears.

I will wait until there is nothing left but ash and then I will build from them a throne upon which to sit. There upon that ash and altar now a glorious throne is restored in all ways, with Divine health, joyful heart, peace of mind, faith to move mountains, and finances enough to exceed my needs and to bless others.

Here we learned not to run from the darkness and chaos, but to run to it. Because of who and what we carry in our souls, we are together the solution to every problem. We do not flee in fright; we stand and fight. We are not here to hide away conformed to this world's way of thinking, we are here to transform it into the King’s Glory and put Him on display. For this we pray!

Our trials and troubles are the fuel and the fire, the altar then become the throne upon which we will stay.
