What is an altar? A place where you “arrange hard things before the Lord.” Build one today. Turn over those hard things to God. As you do, you’ll realize that God is interested in your personal comfort as you surrender to him. How do you know that? What from the text gives that kind of impression? It is found in the kind of tree that Genesis 21:33 identifies. A tamarisk tree provides a canopy of cool shade and refreshing moisture for the desert dweller. As you sit under the tree and are sheltered from the 100° degree sun, the tamarisk tree emits cool drops of moisture that makes the temperature under the tree 80°. The Eternal God cares about your comfort.
