The bronze altar where Sacrifice Meets Mercy. God instructs Moses to build a square altar from acacia wood, overlaid with bronze. It has horns on each corner, a bronze grate, and rings with poles for carrying. This altar is placed in the courtyard and used for burnt offerings. The altar is where the people meet God through sacrifice. It’s strong, portable, and sacred reminding us that mercy travels with us.

It5 reads in Exodus 27:1-8 Easy “Use acacia wood and build an altar. The altar should be square. It must be 5 cubits long, 5 cubits wide, and 3 cubits high.Make a horn for each of the four corners of the altar. Join each horn to its corner so that everything is one piece. Then cover the altar with bronze. “Use bronze to make all the tools and dishes that will be used on the altar. Make pots, shovels, bowls, forks, and pans. These will be used for cleaning ashes from the altar. Make a grating for the altar. This grating will be shaped like a net. And make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the grating. Put the grating under the ledge at the bottom of the altar. The grating will go halfway up into the altar from below. “Use acacia wood to make poles for the altar and cover them with bronze. Put the poles through the rings on both sides of the altar. Use these poles for carrying the altar. Make the altar like an empty box with the sides made from boards. Make the altar just as I showed you on the mountain.

Father God, just as You instructed the building of the altar with care and purpose, help me to build my life according to Your design. May my heart be a place where Your fire never goes out, burning with faith, love, and obedience. Teach me to offer my thoughts, words, and actions as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to You. Strengthen me to serve You with excellence and let my life reflect Your glory. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
