Do you believe the bible that God gives you what you need if you live a religious lifestyle?

I know two mentally challenged people that married amazing people and became parents with kids to take care of them in old age after their parents die.

I also know a severely disabled woman that has been dating a millionaire for the last 10-18 years and he owns at least 10 cars. She prays a lot and does it in secret, which is why I did not know she prayed until around 12 years of friendship.

I also know a woman with a very low IQ and absolutely horrible driving skills that owns a humongous black SUV and she was single so it was not something a man bought her. Somehow she found a high paying job, despite low skill. She was a very kind and compassionate person, but intellectually she was very average or below.

Yes I believe in the Bible, I hold fast to Jesus Christ who is our savior and god, I am a Christian by my own choice from birth because there is a bond between me and Jesus Christ this bond has been going on since I was 7 years old jesus I pray every day jesus or I keep a diary I practice Jesus' teachings in my life Christianity is not a religion Christianity is the way of god the only one who comes and goes is our savior our lord Jesus Christ there is no one else I go to church regularly on Sundays you join us let's make the world a more beautiful

God always provides what is needed to those who believe in Him.

There's an interesting story...

A man is caught in a flood. A rescue boat comes by but he says "I'll be okay, God will save me." The waters continue to rise and a helicopter comes to rescue him. Again he declines and says ""I'll be okay, God will save me." Eventually, the man drowns.

At the Pearly Gates, the man asks God "What happened, why didn't you save me?"

God replies "I sent a boat and a helicopter, what else did you want?"

I like your story. It also shows that God actually gives us what we need, although I believe IT doesn't really matter if we are really religious or not. God is our Father so he does what he can for us as his children. The questions is whether what we get is enough for us or not.

Well... It's not that simple. God is not a socialist, You won't get anything without putting in any effort, but being a believer can help. Though the explanation does not usually require any miracle-class divine intervention. If You follow the tried-and-true set of rules God gave us, You are simply effective in anything You undertake and You can have total confidence in every single step You take.

Yes God has definitely been present in my life. I remember a time when I was on break at work and someone needed a jump and I hooked up my car turned the key and my car died as well. at that time a mechanic was driving by and he stopped to help us even though it appeared that no help was needed and he got me and him back and running before I was late getting back into work. I can only thank God for that however because he was there for me does not mean that life will be easy or that I will become rich but aslong as he is with me I know that I don’t need anything else.

Gid does not owe us anything. It is God's will. We cannot be guessing and we cannot hold expectations and then hold the Almighty accountable. Whatever he fulfils, we say thanks. Whatever does not get fulfilled, we say it's Your will and we will keep praying and asking.

[WhitneySnow]

In general yeah, but religious varies from person to person

[RonStone45]

No, God often will give non believers and those that don't believe the right way in Jesus a good life cause it's the only life they will have.

[sawno]

Need yes, want no. They will help and guide, but if your not doing your own part nothing will happen. The need part can be the opportunities you need but its still up to you to do it.

[collie22]

Yes I do. If we study the bible and if we try and do things the right way and repent when we mess up. If we thank him for his blessings. God loves that. He will take care of us.

[AngryCarl2]

The Bible doesn't guarantee you any particular lifestyle. As a Christian you will be rewarded with eternal life at the Lord's right hand.

[Anonymous]

No, because a model christian friend of mine died way too soon.

[robhazelnut]

I don't believe in a universal manager.
