The truth is, with or without this blessing I'd have my place furnished. I believe that God's favor on me is as such that people would literally GIVE it to me.
You have no concept of this PERSONAL relationship with God because Buddhism and whatever else you believe in doesn't teach that.
When God give me wealth, it isn't just for me. It will be so that I can continue being a blessing to those around me. Me earning well over 6 figures will be so that I can do the things God has placed in my heart to do. All the finer things in life will be the cherry on top.
I'm in a state of abundance right now. 4500? That's pocket change.
Don't get it twisted.

Why does God favor you over other people? I am sorry to tell you this, but the "will" of God is every single thing that happens. You are wealthy because you work hard for your money and you have drive for success, not because God handed you cash on a silver platter.
If your logic is true, then God is blessing Columbian drug lords for their great service to humanity... Ruining countless lives and families, and causing drug addiction. But hey, they get lots of women and have lots of money, it must be a blessing from God.
What about a homeless preacher, so happy with the Lord's word that he wants to spread it to others, and try his best at leading others to salvation. Unfortunately many people like this exist, and most of them, like every other hobo, will die an early, painful death caused by disease or general unhealthiness.
The world isn't made of rainbows and sunshine and blessings for people who give 10% of their paycheck away and don't know exactly where it goes. I am not saying there is anything wrong with this world, I'm just saying you're acting odd. In case you forgot, you're a sinner, but God loves you no matter what it is you do. You can't win God's favor, and trying to do so is a selfish endeavor.
What you are doing is like saying to God, who has GIVEN you his love and blessings, "Oh, thanks God for rewarding me for my actions and favoring me over others because of the things I have done, it's good to know that you've given me your blessing because of a few actions that I've done." Sure, be happy God has blessed you, but don't go around claiming shit like "Ohh, sowing and reaping, God just blesses me because I'm a nice guy." If anything, God blesses you because HE is a nice guy.
And so what if I'm not a christian... Don't forget, it's against your religion to judge someone because of their religion. Just because I no longer label myself a Christian, doesn't mean I know nothing of God.

Once you drop all your misconceptions of truth, you'll start to truly be happy Tero.
Right now, you struggle with your own mind. There's no peace there. Why? There's no peace to anyone who isn't a child of God, the father of our Lord Jesus.
Kid yaself...NOT

Is that so... Peace only to the people who are Sons of God? Who, may I ask, is NOT a son of
the father? Are you trying to tell me that I'm not a child of God?
