why is it that God gives some folks 'the easy life' (family/money/etc) while others have it rough?

Answer 1

god has 2 do nothing with this .what we sow so we ripe

Answer 2

Nothing ever comes easy for anyone, or at least that is how I see it. I know some people may seem to have everything handed to them on a silver platter ( easy life), while others bust their butt to just have the simpler things in life.( rough life) I had a very rough life - BUT believe me I don't take people or things for granted, I treasure everything that I have worked hard to earn . Maybe if we lived the other side of the life as having a easy life we would see truly sometimes it is not any differ then the life we have now. Life is not a easy thing, it is a constant learning cycle until the end. Sure some people may have better things then others- but does that really matter all the time. Someone who is not wealthy could have a personality worth a pot of gold, and believe me that is much better then having all the riches etc... in life or easy life as some say it.

Answer 3

Things aren't always what they seem. You may think someone has an easy life because they have what you THINK would make you happy, but many people only appear to be happy.

I watched a documentary once about this family living in the Appalachians in a very poor community. At first, I felt sorry for them for how little they had. Then, once you got into their stories, you found that they had something many of us do not - an extended family that included the entire community.

One kid was going to get married, but couldn't come up with $25 for the license. Several neighbors got together and gave him the $25 as a wedding gift. It may not sound like much to the rest of us, but these people gave all they had to help this kid get his life started. It was much more selfless than anything I've ever done.

So, while my first impression was that God had not been very kind to these people, he gave them something that I never came close to having, and probably never will unless I choose to go live such a modest life.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Hi!

I believe that it is all in how you look at it. I am sure you can find tons of people arround you that are in much dire condition than you are.

Now, what you or me see as "the easy life" may not be fulfilling to that person who has it all.

Would you rather have a fullfiling life with good family and friends (rich / poor) or only have a unidimentional view of easy life.

Also life would be so boring if everyone had the exact same thing and there was nothing to achieve and look forward to.

May be God wants us to have a fruitful life and realize that we can do better, get better and then in turn do better for others.

Answer 5

The perception that God gives some people the easy life is not exactly that. Depending on how people live their life and praise god, his blessings can be enormous.

Seeing someone that has money, power, earthly things does not mean they are being blessed by God. the outer shell could be wealthy, but the inner core could be lacking. The old saying... "Dont judge a book by its cover" is appropriate in this situation.

Things that are of this world are temporary, Blessings from God are enternal


Read Psalms 49: 16-17

Answer 6

I don't think God gives anyone person "The Easy Life"..If its meant for you to have the easy life then that is what you will have if not then you will not have that..As long as you have faith and you trust in God he can provide you with just about anything that your hearts desire...Not everyone gets everything though,,,Why? well its simple you get what he thinks you can have and deal with here on earth..Not having all of the things that you want in life sometimes makes us a better person and makes us really sit back and think how lucky we are to just have those things that we have right now here with us..Basically you need to be happy with what you have..Looking onto others who have more is something your not suppose to do although we all do it from time to time...Just have be happy good things do come to those who wait..I firmly believe that

Answer 7

Yes God gives some folks an easy life and other have a hard life.God is always fair.He gives us free wiil and free effort in line with our life objectives.Someone will collect every treasure which can be reached whatever its way to grap it.But other people will do their best to collect wealth by obeying what should have done and what should have not done.They try to earn their permitted income only in line with religion teachings.People who try hard to earn their living will harvest their results.God will not change our fate if we do not try hard to change it.If you become a rich man please thank to our God and be a humble person who give help to the poor.If you are a poor person please be patience and try to work harder and always pray to Allah ask for His help and guidance.The rich and the poor are needed in this world and must work together and helping each other.There are no rich man if all are poor.The rich can not work alone.He/she needs, help from the poor.The rich men can not boast themselves.Our God hates boasting or conceit.Most of rich men go to hell.

Answer 8

I think the grass always looks greener on the other side. But everyone has troubles. It is how you deal with your problems makes it seem worse off than they are. Some people are good at hiding their stress so on the outside it seems like nothing is bothering them. God also puts obstacles in our way for us to become closer to him. We should be close to God in our roadblocks and when things are also going smoothing. It seems people only call on God during the hardships. He does give us blessings too. We just have to open our eyes to them.

Answer 9

For some (lost), this is the only good they are ever going to see, and for others (Christians) this is the worst they'll have to face. The Bible says God blesses the good with the bad, it's afterwards that really counts. Good to have a handle on eternity, things down here don't seem so bad when you put them in perspective..

Answer 10

God never gave anybody anything. Wealth is acquired by inheritance, skillful planing, or just plain luck.
Poverty comes from he lack of rich relatives, poor planing, lack of education, and bad luck.
Don't look to God if you want to get ahead. You can go to church seven days per week, kneel twelve hours a day, and pray the rest of the time. It won't bring you a dime.
The other guy who keeps his nose in the books, studies hard and gets his degree will be the one who gets to the top.

Answer 11

God will only give His children what He thinks that they could handle. Sometimes (more often than not) what He is doing is giving His children a test of faith, Like in the book of Job in the Old Testement. I suggest you read it. The Bible has the answers you are looking for, you just ave to be open to recieving it.
