Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him. After that, Abram traveled south and set up camp in the hill country, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built another altar and dedicated it to the Lord, and he worshiped the Lord.
(Genesis 12:7-8 NLT)
The great patriarch Abram was well known for the altars he built to God. In today’s passage alone, we learn that he built two altars. From the several altars he built, we learn that Abram was a devout worshipper of the true God. He made worship a habit wherever he went. Worship should also characterize our relationship with God. We’re to worship Him not just on Sundays at church, but also throughout the week–at home, work, school. We’re to worship constantly as Abram did. After all, worshipping God is what we’ll be doing in heaven.
Worship God anytime, anywhere.
