2 Chronicles 17:5,6

And Reader! do observe how the Lord's blessing is sure to accompany such conduct. Our God will never be backward; but be always before hand in rewarding the services of his creatures. Though he needs nothing from them, and indeed strictly speaking it is of his own they offer, yet he is graciously pleased to make himself debtor to his creatures, and to accept that as a gift which from them is indeed a just debt.
