The Bible tells us that God will, bless whom He will Bless, and Curse, whom He shall Curse. All being within His will, and His plan for each and every, man, woman and Child upon this earth. Those that are poor in this life, fearing God, shall be rich in the next, for eternity. Those that are rich in this life, without the fear of God, shall be brought low, and humbled in the next, for eternity. Why are there poor and rich, why are there those, that drink wine, while others drink water$%:
We see the answer to this in Romans 9:13-6; As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
What shall we say then$%: Is there unrighteousness with God$%: God forbid.

Many ask the question that appears in Romans 19:21; "Why hast thou made me thus$%:" Why do I drink water, while my fellow brothers and sisters, in far away lands, drink wine, and eat of the fat of the field, and have no want.

I eat glean from the field, while others, eat of the fatted calf, Why$%: Why am I poor, destitute and impoverished$%: Why am I always struggling each day, to glean out a living$%: The answer to these questions are simple.

All men have a ministry to some one or to some area of mankind, and whom is to say where we minister$%:
I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. These words from God are strong words. He is stating that, His power comes from no one. His ability and eternal Godhead is His own, and He owes no allegiance to no man. His compassion is His to give or contain. His mercy is open to those, whom He wills and is hidden from those that He is teaching and trying.
