The lessons are in God's promises. When those blessings do not come, it's not God's fault. Read the promises. Live the covenant.
Sadly, folks would have you believe that sick and in poverty is exactly where God wishes His covenant people, His blood redeemed children, to be.

Folks, if you're sick and broke, it's your own fault.
Now, I am not a person who believes God wants people to be sick and broke, but, neither do I believe that everyone who lives for God is sick and broke but for a lack of faith. As a matter of fact, I find that a bit arrogant.

It rains on the just and unjust and chance and happenstance happen to all.
When something good happens to me, I just go ahead and "blame it on Jesus", when things aren't so good I quake in my boots...ha ha....well, sort of ha ha...but, I know God is true to His promises and He's never failed.
Concerning faith or lack thereof...you're right there too. I heard it asked once, "how much " faith do you think Lazarus was exercising when Jesus called him from the tomb?"

You obviously do not understand the "Prosperity Gospel" that we are exhorted to preach.

Re: $5.00 a gallon gas
The last time I bought gas was Monday Dec. 27th. I paid $339.9 per gallon. I have a Kroger card and receive discounts. The time before the 27th that I bought gas I received a discount of 65 cents per gallon but I got no discount on the 27th when I had to pay the full price of $339.9. The Krogers I go to is about half a mile from my house and there are several other gas stations nearby --Shell, Marathon, UDF (Mobil), and Walmart, so they all keep their gas at the same price.

Did they discontinue the discount?

No, they did not discontinue the discount, but it varies with how much you have recently spent with their Kroger/US Bank credit card.

We spend about $800 a month on groceries. A couple of weeks ago we put $1554 on that card for vehicle repair but I guess we've used up all that towards the gas discount. We usually get some kind of gas discount which varies from 10 cents to 65 cents per gallon but every so often (maybe once a month) we do not qualify for the discount.
