Do you think God will’s you to live in a certain town at a certain time, marry a certain person, work in a particular industry,
 
I certainly do. God has a plan for everyone. Many times it is just to good and stay away from sin from day to day. He will also use you for very specific things. 🙂
 
’Even the hairs on your head have been counted.'

Nothing is outside of God’s will. But he did give us our own free will.
And actually following God’s will – well that’s a whole other fettle of kish.
 
I surely hope not. If thats the case, its God specific will that people are born into poverty or enviroments which stack the deck against people from the begining.

God’s will is that we be filled with charity and that we love others as he loves us. Other than that … who knows.

Jarrod,

We know some things about God, most important here:
  1. He is all knowing and
  2. He is all loving.
What does God want for us? For us to be happy with Him in heaven – in other words whatever comes our way is for the good of our eternal souls.
For us living here in time our situations may seem great. Or they may seem terrible, but that doesn’t matter. Only God has the wisdom to see what is really best for each individual’s soul.
For some it may mean they have to experience growing up in luxury. For others extreme poverty. If it weren’t for the best (remember He’s concerned with our eternal souls more than us having a full belly) than He would not allow it.

Seen from that perspective then being born in poverty is actually having the deck stacked in your favour.

My recent source for this thinking is a little book I’ve bought for myself and friends and family:
Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence.
by Father Jean Baptiste Saint-Jure
and
Saint Claude de la Colombiere

You talk trash, and it’s irresponsible. God does not wish for people to live in poverty, people are born into poverty based on the circumstances such as the country they live in.

It’s disgusting, just as disgusting as Pope Benedict claiming that those South American tribes that were brutally raped, tortured, killed, etc. by foreign invaders were crying out for Jesus. Yes bringing Christianity was a good thing, but to justify all the wrongdoings in that sense is logically incorrect and also a stupid thing to say.

Shame on you, poverty is not a joke for you to theorize on theologically.
