Pick an Altar.

Quote of the Day, from Beth Moore's Breaking Free:

"We fear making sacrifices. But the irony is that we make a lot of sacrifices when we are not living the will of God. How many things have we placed on the altar to Satan's kingdom?"

I don't know about you, but I never looked at it this way. Clearly, having lived outside God's will for a considerable chunk of time, the sacrifices I knew I was making had to have gone somewhere- it just never dawned on me that Satan's kingdom was where. In my disregard to the prompting of the Spirit in my life, I ended up not only disobeying my Father, but glorifying the enemy. 

Abba, Father,

Thank You for Your forgiveness, Your mercy, Your grace.

Thank You for using my disobedience for Your glory, that the enemy can't even claim victory in the sacrifices.

Thank You for holding my hand, and for knowing that my wandering would bring me closer to You.

Be honored, be glorified, be high and lifted up.

In Jesus' Name.
