well first of all - you should never consort with the devil nor be his advocate in any way wink .... but to answer your questions, easy - see my previous reply - God blesses so that we, in turn, can be a blessing -- we take our "daily bread", and take what's leftover to bless others that He brings in our path .... i don't like to publicly discuss these things, but a youth from my program years ago came into my path recently & she was in an abusive situation, through no fault of her own .... i'm blessing her at the moment w/my abundance, and praise God, we're able to get her out of that abusive situation & into something that's safe & secure .... i praise the Lord that he blessed me financially so that i could be in a position to help her out at her desperate time of need ...

Jesus works through His people .... He will find a way to bless those that serve His will .... it's a very simple spiritual concept ....

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
