God not only wants people to believe in his justice, but in his love

At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
and I will punish the men
who are complacent,
those who say in their hearts,
“The LORD will not do good,
nor will he do ill.”
Their goods shall be plundered,
and their houses laid waste.
Though they build houses,
they shall not inhabit them;
though they plant vineyards,
they shall not drink wine from them.

via Passage: Zephaniah 1-3 (ESV Bible Online).

Notice that God is angry at those who think that God is not in the business of blessing people. Expecting God to stay uninvolved in daily economics means that one attributes economic blessings to one’s own efforts.
