“The notion that God blesses us with money, experiences, and achievements correlating to our obedience now pervades our culture. But what does this mean for the majority of people who aren’t receiving all these divine handouts? What about poor people and abused people and abandoned people and disabled people and the more than 650 million people who don’t even have access to basic clean water?7 If we consider the size and scope of the human race on earth, we realize that the popular definition of blessing comforts a tiny subset of God’s megafavored while excluding the majority of others.”
