1 Chronicles 16:29

Bring an offering. No man who really appreciates the wonderful goodness of God will desire to come before Him with empty hands. What a man offers to God, evaluated by his abilities, is an index to the degree of his appreciation of the blessings of Heaven. Since man has so freely received, he should regard it as a happy privilege to freely give (see Matthew 10:8; 2 Corinthians 9:7).

Beauty. Hebrew hadarah, “adornment,” “glory.” True worship is a matter of beauty as well as holiness. Clad in their holy vestments, the ancient priests engaged in a service of worship that was both beautiful and impressive. But beauty of form and symbol is not an adequate demonstration of the “beauty of holiness.” The term may be regarded as including a spirit of quiet reverence, inward devotion and outward piety, devout earnestness and joyous gratitude. Neither heaven nor earth can know any greater beauty than the beauty of true holiness.
