What Does 1 Chronicles 29:21 Mean?
The giving and worship overflow into sacrifice. On the following day the people present burnt offerings in vast number, with their accompanying drink offerings, brought on behalf of the whole nation.
The burnt offering, wholly consumed on the altar, signified a life given entirely to God -- a fitting echo of the wholehearted giving just witnessed. These countless offerings point forward to the one perfect sacrifice in which God's people would finally be made whole. Worship that begins in the heart rightly issues in costly, visible devotion.
