As far as everything being a blessing, and based upon the example given, God orchestrates everything true enough but He has also given us free will. I don't think God just spoke into somebody's spirit to go and rob a bank. We are commanded to obey the laws of the land and uhh I don't think they making robbery legal these days lol.
