“The king answered Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it from you for a price, for I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for twenty ounces of silver. He built an altar to the Lord there and offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the Lord was receptive to prayer for the land, and the plague on Israel ended.”
2 Samuel 24:24-25 CSB
Lord, help me to avoid the laziness of only offering You my leftovers. Let my sacrifices for You be the most valuable things that I have…I want them to be costly to demonstrate Your majesty and splendor.
