With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God?

-The things of greatest value to God are almost never things.

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

-Cost of sacrifice isn’t tied to any material stuff you can give to God as he is already the creator and provider of them all.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly
and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
‭‭Micah‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

-Justice, mercy, and humility are uniquely human attributes which reflect God’s character living in us.

No dollar value. Not offerable based on what we can afford, yet affordable for anyone to give in worship to God in any quantity.

-God’s expectations go beyond mere external rituals or sacrifices. Instead, He desires a heart committed to justice, mercy, and humility.

-The emphasis is on genuine moral behavior and a humble relationship with God rather than ritual sacrifices or offerings.

-Devotion’s most prized display is in our transformed hearts and actions, not just performing traditional religious rituals.
