In all world religions, only Bible asks for tithe or 10% goods or products or money to God. And Bible asks to give 33% of tithe to poor, strangers, widows and orphans. Deuteronomy 14:28, 29.In nature, we see the similar energy transaction.
It is wonderful to see that energy from sunlight is free and plants trap that energy and animals get 10% energy at each level. There is a loss of 90% of energy in the form of heat so that each feeding level receives only 10% of the energy from the step below it.
So by giving a tithe to God, we declare three things.
1) We accept that God is at a higher level than us.
2) God and we are in one integrated system. (John17:21)
3) Our basic fabric of success is from God and it is a free gift. (Deuteronomy8:16-18)
