God's Absolute Ownership
Commentators stress that this verse declares God's total sovereignty. He not only owns every creature, from the birds in the mountains to the beasts in the field, but He also knows them intimately. This establishes a crucial point: God is not dependent on our offerings to meet a need, because everything we could possibly give already belongs to Him.
