“O my people, listen as I speak.
    Here are my charges against you, O Israel:
    I am God, your God!
8 I have no complaint about your sacrifices
    or the burnt offerings you constantly offer.
9 But I do not need the bulls from your barns
    or the goats from your pens.
10 For all the animals of the forest are mine,
    and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird on the mountains,
    and all the animals of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
    for all the world is mine and everything in it.
13 Do I eat the meat of bulls?
    Do I drink the blood of goats?
14 Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God,
    and keep the vows you made to the Most High. Psalm 50:7-14

According to these verses who is the provision of the cattle on a thousand hills for? Does that change how you have looked at this verse in the past?

If God does not need the bulls or goats for sacrifices, what was the purpose of the sacrifice?

He calls on the heavens above and earth below
    to witness the judgment of his people.
5 “Bring my faithful people to me—
    those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices.”
6 Then let the heavens proclaim his justice,
    for God himself will be the judge. Interlude Psalm 50: 4-6

How will the heavens proclaim God’s justice?

The Lord, the Mighty One, is God,
    and he has spoken;
he has summoned all humanity
    from where the sun rises to where it sets.
2 From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty,
    God shines in glorious radiance.
3 Our God approaches,
    and he is not silent.
Fire devours everything in his way,
    and a great storm rages around him. Psalm 50:1-3

Why does a storm rage around God in this word picture?

Cashel

So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich
    and their homes become ever more splendid.
17 For when they die, they take nothing with them.
    Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.
18 In this life they consider themselves fortunate
    and are applauded for their success.
19 But they will die like all before them
    and never again see the light of day.
20 People who boast of their wealth don’t understand;
    they will die, just like animals. Psalm 49: 16-20

We all know we cannot take our riches with us into eternity. What do we take?
