It’s not automatic ?

God doesn’t destine you for either success or failure. God created you on purpose and for a purpose. You were not created to be a dud and neither were you created to simply exist and take up space. You are important and God has given you a significant calling but just because God wants all of this for you doesn’t mean it’s going to happen! God doesn’t make you successful or unsuccessful but He does make a way for you to become successful.
 
This means that, contrary to man’s perspective, the Lord is not late with his promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, his “delay” simply reveals his loving patience toward you, because he does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9 The Passion Translation (TPT)
 
God doesn’t want anyone to perish; His will is that all would come to repentance and be saved – that all would come to know Him which is the first step to success. The point here is that not all are saved and there are many people perishing both in this life and in the next. This reveals that God’s will doesn’t automatically come to pass.
 
The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your storehouses and in all that you undertake, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
Deuteronomy 28:8 Amplified Bible (AMP)
 
Under the Old Covenant God’s blessing was commanded upon His people’s storehouses and in everything, they undertook to do. This means that God’s blessing was there, but it was only experienced if there was a storehouse and if the people undertook to do something. In the New Covenant, we have all of God’s blessings because we are in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) but that doesn’t mean we experience all of them. We need to realize that God has (past tense) blessed us (or in other words: He has set us up for success). We experience that blessing (success) as we step out in faith.
 
15 “Listen closely, I have set before you today life and prosperity (good), and death and adversity (evil)…
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants.”
Deuteronomy 30:15, 19 Amplified Bible (AMP)
 
God has declared His heart (His will) for you: He wants you blessed. But just because God wants you blessed and prosperous, and just because He wants you to have a hope-filled future (Jeremiah 29:11) doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. God offers the abundant life to you as a gift and you get to choose it or reject it. We choose the blessed life that God has for us by growing as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:2) – growing in our ability to say yes to Jesus.
