The Golden Altar of Incense: Messiah Our Prayer

"Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive." As we approach the last item in the sanctuary, we see a square, golden box with horns on four corners and tendrils of smoke rising from its center. Morning and evening, the priests placed hot coals from the brazen altar on it and poured incense over them, filing the Holy Place with an aroma reserved for this sacred moment alone. This act of worship represents prayer: first, Messiah's continual intercession for us; secondly, our's for others. John reveals these prayers are kept in a censer in heaven, indicating our prayers are of eternal value. How much incense have we added to the censer lately?
