It is clear that a
sacrifice must consist of praise and thanks, or must at least not be without
praise and thanks, if it is to please God. And if it is without praise and
thanks, He neither wants nor likes it, as indeed He says (Isaiah 1:11): What
is your sacrificing to Me? I do not want your offering of incense. We cannot
give God anything; for everything is already His, and all we have comes from
Him. We can only give Him praise, thanks, and honor.
