One of the biggest loads of hooey out there is the idea that if you live according to God's will, paying tithing and keeping his commandments, you will be rewarded in this life.
Get it out of your mind right now. It is not God that provides financial wealth, but man's own doings. Atheists and Christians alike, from all walks of life, have been equally blessed [*cough*] with money. Attributing financial wealth as a reward for faithfulness only justifies greed - and there's enough of that in the secular world as it is.
The ONLY thing that a faithful Christ-centered life will gain you is hope for life after death. Any reward in this life is from man, and not God. Still, we should thank God for every blessing that we do have, no matter how meager or extravagant it may be.
