Praising god for whatever implies that those who didn't receive whatever weren't good enough, or devout enough. Christians hide behind the old "God's plan" and/or "God works in mysterious ways" tripe, but it's bullshit. Especially when, as the author states, Christians use it to humble brag, which they do all the damn time. That's the kind of shit vultures like Osteen and the others spew.
Seems you're judging all Christians by a few, most Christians call bad apples. They present a problem for Christians who try their best to live by God's will, what can we do about them, not much other than to continue to speak out against their false teachings.

Funny how you focus on those Christians praising god for material possessions, but ignore those Christians who praise god for everything else.
Both are selfish. One's just more overt than the other.
