'Jacob's Altar.'
Genesis 33:20.
a) Then Jacob erected an Altar there.
b) And called it:
c) "El Elohe Israel."
d) It means: "God, the God of Israel."
(This QT teaches me about the importance of personal altars - spiritual ones - Jacob's Altar)
PRAY: And establish your Jacob's Altar, your personal one.

'A New Creation.'
2 Corinthians 5:17.
a) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
b) He is a New Creation.
c) The old has passed away;
d) Behold,
e) The new has come.
(Through this Second one I thank God that I am in Christ)
PRAY: For personal assurance of being in Christ. [Being A New Creation]

It seems that there was a spiritual principle, in the Old Testament, of naming the places where one had a significant encounter with God. It gives us a helpful example for our lives today, of naming significant places with significant names, usually names from Biblical origin. I know certain men and women of God today who do this.
I am not going to give examples, we know our own relationship with God and our own Prayer Life. We know how, where and when we maintain our personal QT lives.
These Biblically significant places really bring stability to our Spiritual life, both as we come to them, take time in them, and when we look back (remember) on them.
Probably, the most important part of our Spiritual life is our personal relationship with God. Believers who have 'grown up' in their relationship with Him who live mostly in a non-believing environment will value, not only their personal relationship with God but, also, the places where they can enjoy fellowship and participate in mutual Spiritual Life with other Believers.
