The One Year Bible - Day 110

The tribes that lived on the Eastern side of the Jordan river built an alter which immediately attracted the interest of the other Israelites since it would imply a dilution of the proper alter which was in Shiloh and which was the appointed place for offerings.

As it turns out, the alter was a way to ensure that in the future, the eastern tribes were not kept away from the true alter since they lived on the other side of the river and were "foreigners".

It is interesting and I guess the question is, what alters do we erect to remind us of what God has done for us in the past and to ensure we don't forget in the future?
