Feeling Lucky? Better Read This.

We regularly wish people good luck on an upcoming test or project. The question is…why?

Let’s look at how Merriam-Webster defines luck: to come upon something desirable by chance. In other words, it accounts for the good or bad that happens to us through the lens of randomness and chance.

But God isn’t a god of chance. Nor is he random. He’s a purposeful, intimate Creator who runs the universe and fathers us with great intention. In his creation, there’s no magical pixie dust called “luck” that we can wish on others or obtain through some talisman that operates independently from God. 

May we never again confuse God’s blessing or favor with good luck…nor the consequences of this fallen world and our brokenness with bad luck.

If you’re still determined to believe in luck, all I can say is…good luck with that.  ; )
