26 David built an altar there to the Lord and sacrificed burnt offerings and peace offerings. And when David prayed, the Lord answered him by sending fire from heaven to burn up the offering on the altar. 27 Then the Lord spoke to the angel, who put the sword back into its sheath.
28 When David saw that the Lord had answered his prayer, he offered sacrifices there at Araunah’s threshing floor. 29 At that time the Tabernacle of the Lord and the altar of burnt offering that Moses had made in the wilderness were located at the place of worship in Gibeon. 30 But David was not able to go there to inquire of God, because he was terrified by the drawn sword of the angel of the Lord. - 1 Chronicles 21
1 Then David said, “This will be the location for the Temple of the Lord God and the place of the altar for Israel’s burnt offerings!”
Preparations for the Temple
2 So David gave orders to call together the foreigners living in Israel, and he assigned them the task of preparing finished stone for building the Temple of God.

A place of miracle can be a place of Altar unto the LORD.
Observation/Promise:
There are many times when we are tested and our faith is tried. But when we cry out to GOD and HE hears, we ought to built an altar of remembrance and worship unto GOD forever for hearing the desperate cries of our hearts. Let that place be a reminder of GOD's great love and mercy unto us, let it remind us that we ought to worship Him alone. Let there be a memorial or altar that will enable us to remember that we should run to GOD first when we are going through hardships and frustrations. He is the only one who can bear and carry for us all our burdens.
Application/Command:
Cry out to GOD for every need and plea.
When GOD hears, make sure to make that a place of worship and remembrance unto the LORD forever.

We all have a role or part in GOD's kingdom whether it be in building and maintaining his temple or wining and harvesting souls for Heaven. Find out what your part is, whether it be teaching, encouraging, singing, or just greeting, make sure that you are doing that very thing which GOD has created you for.
We are all assigned to do specific tasks on earth. Know your task and do it.
Without doing what we are supposed to do, life is meaningless and without purpose.
Do Your Part.
