Because there is no god and life works that way.
It's a combination of hard work and sheer luck

Remember that all of the things you see will one day be gone--whether it be wealth or good looks or a healthy body--it will all perish. Sometimes people with exceptional gifts have a harder time recognising God as part of their lives. It's often the people who have the least that find it easiest to be close to the Lord. The parable that mentions "easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" (Matt 19:24) might very well be referring to more than just material wealth as being an obstacle to seeking God, but it might also mean that someone with many natural gifts (good health, good disposition) will also have a hard time seeking God. It's easy for a person to forget God, if that person already has a lot of good things going for him; problem is, that person still needs saving. Every Christian is a unique and important member of the body of Christ. Every person has a unique set of qualities that can be put to use.

God has nothing to do with people having things (and conversly, not having things) That is all a part of life and Free Will. God does not reward some with "things" while causing others to suffer by not having "things". Things are just things and are man-made....no matter what things you are talking about. God gave us all the means to create the life we have....it is up to you to make good use of your gifts.

The only thing God gives people is life. Everything else is a result of circumstance.

I wonder that as well. Perhaps God gives us each what God feels we can handle, or perhaps God just enjoys the random interplay between the haves and the have nots. After all it's not as if we can hold God up to our moral imperatives. What we may find appalling God may delight in, you never know when your wondering about God.

God treats everyone equal but sometimes people don't listen to god and chose some of the bad choices and they go the separate direction from the ones who listen to god.

God gives more to some people than others simply because of Obedience mostly and being submissive. Others walk in the full glory of God and they tend to be more holy than others. it is all in being right with God the way he wants you to be. Other times, I guess it could be a testing of faith. Talk to your pastor.

God doesn't give anything.......you have to work for it!He gave you the gift to see that you have the intelligence and the ability to get what you want yourself.Stop asking God why all the time.Try having a little faith.

I don't think we can totally know why God does everything he does; but Jesus did teach that it isn't how much you have but how faithful we are with what God gives us. We may be surprised in the world after this one that the least have become the greatest and the greatest become the least.

Things of the world aren't important to God. He isn't about things; He's spirit. And He gives treasures of the spirit freely and generously to everyone who asks Him. People who are stuck on "things" are really barking up the wrong tree.
Blessings to you!

If we didnt have pain then we wouldent know what happynes is. The only reason we are ever happy is because we are not in pain. You have to take the up of life with the downs. If every one had the same amount of everything. There would be no ups or downs just one boreing level plane.
