**1 Chronicles 21:26** — *"And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called upon the LORD, who answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering."*
David built this altar on the threshing floor of Araunah — ground purchased at the intersection of his deepest failure and God's arresting mercy. The fire that fell was not reward for a flawless life. It was covenant response to a broken man who turned, built, and called.
Scripture reminds us that God does not wait for our record to be clean before He answers. He waits for our altar to be real.
Consider the threshing floor beneath your own feet — that place where sin was exposed, where the weight of consequence settled in. It is often precisely there that God chooses to meet us with fire rather than silence.
Walk with that truth today. The altar you build in humility is never beneath His attention.
