Why doesn't GOD bless me???
So if GOD loves me, why am I not as blessed as others?
Firstly, what is your definition of blessing? Are you primarily looking at material and worldly blessings? Are you looking at wealth, creature comfort, sensual pleasure, status symbols?... If so, please look at how Jesus defines blessing in Matthew 5:1-12. To Him, blessing stems invariably from a relationship with GOD and a security and assurance that lies in His presence.
King David said he would rather be a doorkeeper in the temple of GOD than to dwell in the tents of the wicked, and that a day in GOD's temple is better than a thousand elsewhere. Blessings are to be defined in relation to GOD, not to self. Blessings are never separate from GOD. If you are looking for blessings apart from GOD, there is the world and all that satan promises, if you worship him.
How dare you judge me and call me a devil worshipper!
The truth is, if satan can convince you to desire his kind of "blessing", if he can make you look away from GOD, if he can make your stomach your god, it is enough. You have chosen to worship him.
OK, so tell me, how am I blessed if I am struggling with so many challenges, when I don't have enough for all my needs?
There is only one thing you need to do. Seek first GOD's Kingdom and His righteousness. Make His business yours, and nothing else. Have no agenda besides His. He promises you He would take care of your needs.
Martha complained to Jesus about having so much to do and a loafer of a sister who did nothing to help. Jesus said that only one thing is needful, and Mary has chosen it, which was to sit at His feet.
Go, and do likewise.
