Why do unsaved people pass us up?

This is a question that I've asked, that I've heard other Christians ask, that I've even heard one unsaved person ask about another. But here goes...don't know if this has happened to some of you, but...I try something, to better my situation, some glitch occurs and I get defeated.I might "play my cards right", have a good plan.But even while I'm licking my wounds,I hear from a reliable source that some unsaved person into some pretty bad sins the thing I got jobbed out of, he easily got it!It could be financial, social,you name it.Now I used to think WE would have it better than THEM,because God is backing us.Yet they seem to surpass" us time and again. Why is this happening, is God passing up His own for some sinful unsaved person?Why would He do that?I mean I'm not blind, I know what I see.It's not my imagination.

Marvel not if the world hates you (1 John 3:15). If we are joined to Jesus through repentant faith, we are identified with Him not only in name and baptism but also the new life in The Holy Spirit — this was Jesus’ big revelation to Paul in Acts 13 — he thought he was persecuting Christians, Jesus said Paul was persecuting “Me.” If they treated The Master a certain way, how will they treat the servants? Scriptures from both Old and New Testaments agree.

“But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD. The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day—in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also.”

They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me. But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them.”

I feel if someone got a job, its his own dedication and effort he made to earn that job . It happens in studies too, if someone wants to become doctor, he cant just read the bible and God will make him doctor. Its individual effort always takes place to achieve something in life irrespective of religion .

If God really wants someone to be something, no one can stop it .

Look at Job, God is showing Satan that He has faithful followers.
We will win in the end. Let's stand together and show Satan who's the boss.
