"If God decrees everything, why command us to give?2"Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."— Matthew 5:42 (NIV)Scripture makes it clear: generosity isn’t optional. It’s a command — a decree. But here’s the twist: if God decrees the outcome, does our giving even matter? The Bible says yes. In divine math, decrees don’t cancel free will — they charge it. You’re not just invited to give; you’re commissioned. Your generosity isn’t just kindness — it’s obedience wrapped in love.God’s already decreed generosity — now it’s your move. Give something today: time, love, or even your lunch. It all counts.Start your day with a twist of divine irony!
