Let us take a hypothetical adventure. There is a king who has unlimited dominion on the Earth and has had it since the dawn of time itself. This king decides to create citizens that they may praise and obey this king. Yet He gives them the unique option that they may worship and obey out of love and gratefulness.
Not only does the king create them and give them their own will, he greatly blesses them. Not only with money, but with houses, cars, clothing, honor, etc. and there is but one thing he ask when it comes to the things that he blesses the people with. He explains the basis that he created it all and ALL is his, given out to the citizens simply to manage.
He asks for 10% to be returned to him, the king. Now tell me, if you were a citizen of this kingdom, would you not be extremely excited to give back 10% to this gracious king? Well, YOU ARE a citizen in that kingdom, and the Lord is the King! The 10% is our tithing! We should be grateful and joyful to give back to our great Provider! Let us give our tithing to the King!
