Psalms 40, 49, 50, 73
Sacrifice and offerings are not what God desires. He doesn’t need our money, and He doesn’t feed on our gifts to Him. It is not possible for even the richest of men to redeem the cost of their soul.
Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches, None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him— For the redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall cease forever.
- Psalm 49:6-8 NKJV
As it said at the beginning of Psalm 1, blessed is the man who’s delight is in the Lord and His law, as it is our hearts that He wants, and He will keep all who love Him.
Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
- Psalm 73:23-26 NKJV
