Psalms 50:10-11. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
If any man thinks that he can make God his debtor by any offering that he brings to him, what a great mistake he makes! Whatever you bring to God, you will only bring to him what is already his. The silver and the gold are his as well as "the cattle upon a thousand hills." What we willingly bring to him out of heartfelt gratitude, he will graciously accept; but if we imagine that there is any merit in what we give, he will have nothing to do with it.
