Scripture focus
I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
1 Chronicles 29:17 — KJV
Triest the heart. Compare Ps. 7:9; 11:4; 26:2; 139:1; Jer. 11:20; Rev. 2:23.
In uprightness. God’s interest is in righteousness and mercy, not in religious formalism and outward conformity to law. Uprightness within results in kindness, justice, honesty, and goodness without. God calls for a religion of the heart that produces the fruits of upright living (see Micah 6:8).
I have willingly offered. There was no hypocrisy in this prayer; it sprang from deep sincerity. What David had done, he had done willingly and cheerfully, finding in such giving his keenest joy.
