I feel blessed people have luxuries and riches in life😡?

Who knows it can be the other way round as more the luxuries one has, the more one tends to become lazy and be enslaved to comforts, then it is very difficult for him to progress.

But having riches and luxuries is by itself no sign of being specially blessed by God. 

Affectionately,
