1 Chronicles 21:26
David built an altar to the Lord there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the Lord, and the Lord answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.

I looked up the difference between a burnt offering and fellowship offering..here is something I found..
In a very basic but real way, the Israelites were communicating with God as they sacrificed their offering. In the Burnt Offering they were saying, "I want to know you but I realize you are holy and I am a sinner and I can only approach you with care, acknowledging my state and coming only as you prescribe." With the Fellowship Offering they were saying, "I want to spend time with you, I want to spend time in your presence, but again I realize I come to a holy God and therefore must come with care and in the way you prescribe."
We might ask ourselves, do we have a desire to draw near to the Lord? Great, but do we have a desire to draw near and stay in the Lord's presence, communing or fellowshipping with Him? This is an indication of maturity, a growing desire to know Him more and more.
