I guess it depends on how humble someone is required to be. Imagine a group of people in a fancy restaurant, eating a sumptuous feast with far more food than any of them can possibly eat, refusing a beggar's request for a crust of bread. It was within their power to help him, but they refused. That's what is more telling than whether the beggar was sufficiently humble. The man could have been desperate, starving, under extreme duress - and seeing someone who has it within their power to help them...yes, they might get angry at that.
If we accept all the stories about God that religionists commonly tell (such as God being all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, etc.), then we must assume that God knows about all the starving and suffering people in the world, has infinite power to help them, yet simply refuses to do so. No different than a wealthy man eating like a king while millions of people starve all around him. What is there to not get angry about?
I was going to leave this thread after reading the few comments on it. Something told me to answer the point you bring up. Because it is a good one. And one who doesn't know the Bible or its promises or why the world is the way it is can rightly bring out a point such as yours.
Why doesn't God get involved with this world that is so broken and fractured and full of hate and violence and as you bring out famine?
The Bible shows us that God is the Sovereign of the universe and as such when he created the perfect man and woman, Adam an Eve, he had the right to rule them. His rule of course is loving. That had to be obvious because of the conditions Adam and Eve were created in. Perfection of life, no sickness, and in a beautiful paradise. All they had to do was be obedient to God and keep living. And thus subject themselves willingly out of love to the God who showed them love to begin with.
Their obedience as perfect humans was put to the test by God. He used a tree and called it the tree of knowledge of good and bad and told them not to eat from it or they would die. They should have reflected the goodness of God and developed love for him. But they did not and they disobeyed. They rejected God's rule. Satan was the root of the problem. He mislead the woman and she in turn got her husband to eat from the tree and a rebellion had formed. God ousted Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden and he allowed Satan to become ruler over the earth. This was to allow sufficient time to prove whether God's way is better or Satan and man's. Now God didn't have to do this but he did out of his wisdom and love.
If God were to interfere today in the world and all the problems it has by rejected his laws, his order, his reminders, his commands, would it not in fact be condoning the bad decisions mankind has made? Would he not then be complicit with unrighteous angels and humans that rejected his rulership? You see God has set up a righteous heavenly kingdom government and has appointed his son Jesus Christ as its ruler and has promised that by mean's of Christ's kingdom government all of mankind's problems will be fixed. This is called the "good news of God's kingdom." It is and always will be good news. And this is the good news that was preached about by Jesus Christ, and is still the same good news that his real followers on earth herald to all the earth.
Today people are being given the opportunity to accept God's rule and align themselves with his son's kingdom government. And he has given his good spirit to his people. They have the law of Christ which obliges them to love their neighbor as themselves and God above all. This love moves them to help others with physical and spiritual assistance when needed. Thus in the Christian congregation there are no servants of Jehovah left wanting for food, or a place to sleep or clothes. Bad things happen to Jehovah's servants the same as the rest of human society, but they have God's spirit, and have love among each other, and God provides for his people. And Jesus' example moves them to provide the needs for each other as they arise.
This world alienated from God does not have the same blessings. And some such as you may not be aware of this fact. We are aware of this and that is why we teach others about this. The problems of this world are not of God's doing. The Bible says this about God:
"
When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone."-James 1:13.
The Bible also clearly shows that God does not answer all prayers. Prayers to false gods do not go answered. Prayers for selfish and wrong motives are not answered. Imagine a sports team on a field praying for God's help in winning a game, or a gambler praying fervently for a winning lottery ticket. Certainly such selfish prayers are not heard by God. The Bible says that a person's actions can have their prayers hindered. For example an unrighteous and wicked person who is not repentant of their conduct cannot approach God in prayer:
"
Jehovah is far away from the wicked,
But he hears the prayer of the righteous."-Proverbs 15:29.
A man who mistreats his wife will not have his prayers answered by God:
"
You husbands, in the same way, continue dwelling with them according to knowledge. Assign them honor as to a weaker vessel, the feminine one, since they are also heirs with you of the undeserved favor of life, in order for your prayers not to be hindered."-1 Peter 3:7.
A man who lacks faith cannot expect God to answer his prayers:
"
But let him keep asking in faith, not doubting at all, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and blown about. In fact, that man should not expect to receive anything from Jehovah; he is an indecisive man, unsteady in all his ways."-James 1:6-8.
God is with the humble. He is with those who recognize him, Jehovah, as the one true God. He listens to those, even if they are wicked, but are searching for him, and they are repentant. And most importantly when a person dedicates themselves to do Jehovah's will and becomes a part of his people on earth as a baptized Christian witness of his illustrious name, that one enters into a special relationship with Jehovah God. And Jehovah listens to and answers all of his prayers:
"
You did not choose me, but I chose you, and I appointed you to go and keep bearing fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that no matter what you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you."-John 15:16.
A servant of Jehovah would not pray to false gods or with wrong or selfish motives. Scripture further states:
"
Also, whatever you ask in my name, I will do this, so that the Father may be glorified in connection with the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it."-John 14:13-14.
This is the blessing of being a servant of Jehovah God. A servant of Jehovah does not ask for a trial to be removed, but asks for endurance to prove God is right.
And sometimes while it may not appear God is answering a prayer of his servant it may be he is answering in a way that is not apparent at first, or he may see the wisdom that the request shouldn't be granted. Jehovah is able to see the overall picture of everything and knows the proper answer to each prayer and responds accordingly.
But he is a loving and a humble God. And he is willing to listen to his servants. And he is even willing to condescend to change his mind about things out of respect for his servants.
