God didn't reach down to rescue fallen angels, but He did reach down to rescue fallen man.

The blessing, that funnel, which God pours out all His goodness, is to the man who is in constant change.

The "uncontaianable blessing" , is the Holy spirit, sealed inside us.

What happens?

There's nothing wrong with God blessing people. It's when we get into that stupidity of equating those material blessings with a superior allegiance to Gods will.

Paradoxically, "Gods victories", for you come when we put God, His people, and His work first....

Blessed people go through " Valleys of weeping."

Psalms 84:5,
"Blessed", is a state of being blessed. There are no ups and downs in it, it has no wavering, or change. Circumstances can't affect it, it's a unchanging state of being blessed.

Psalms 84: 5-7,
This promise of God has conditions attached to it. "Blessed is the man who's strength is in thee, OH GOD.
This man is specifically picked out of a crowd, and who's heart is on a pilgrimage.

Either you are using "blessed" in an extremely narrow sense that the full counsel of Scripture doesn't support, or your claims are inconsistent with both Scripture and life experience.

I have already explained to you in another thread that your understanding of this verse is incorrect. Repeating your error doesn't look good on you.

Tozier said, it is a mistake of Christians to make Christianity a destination, or a series of destinations.
We're prone to trust the gift instead of the giver of the gift. We're prone to look back at a blessing had, instead of going forward in the blessing.

The Blessed man of psalm 84 is on a journey. He's moving on, and there is change that confronts him at every step.
But the changes do not affect his blessing state at all.
His blessing is unchanging, even though he is still changing.

Faith, a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender, is the trigger that causes the release of Gods unmerited favor. Where in we stand as recipients of this gift.

When we go through valleys of weeping, it becomes an instrument by God, through us, that produces springs that can bless other people.
God presses the blessings out of the saints going through the valleys, for others.

Blessed men don't sit in their valleys waiting for rain. They've already dug wells for water, the rain is extra.
