Verse Takeaways

Worship from a Willing Heart
Commentators emphasize that David's promised sacrifice is a "freewill-offering." This isn't about a ritual required by law, but a spontaneous and cheerful act of gratitude. John Calvin highlights that this distinguishes true worship from the grudging, compulsory service of a hypocrite. Our service to God should flow from a willing and eager heart, not a sense of mere obligation.
