No such thing as luck? Are you kidding me?

I hear people say, "You make your own luck." The unsaved say that, and the Christians say it's God, not luck, controlling things. But some things, where I see that one person gets everything hand over foot, and another gets screwed out of everything, unless someone can prove otherwise, I would have to say some are "luckier" than others. Because I've seen Christians who have prayed for a long period of time, have had others pray for them, but are still getting screwed. On the contrary, almost immediately afterwards, an unsaved person into many sins, things just come easily to them, many things in the same category the Christian has just failed in. Even reaping and sowing—I have personally used every strategy that's supposed to work, but some negative surprise I wouldn't have thought of in my worst nightmare comes along and screws me out of it—with all my planning. Soon afterward, someone doing everything that should ensure a defeat for them, in the stupidest way possible, "lucks out" and, against all odds, gets their heart's desire! How many times have I seen this? Have you noticed that? {And it seems the more stupid or sinful they are, the more blessings they get!! Also, timing—if you get somewhere, and you missed your chance—and someone else gets there at a good time, by chance and not knowing it—I would have to say, based on what I've seen, and until someone can think of a better word for it, that "luck" isn't non-existent. It plays a part. If you disagree, explain what I just described.. {And why it's happening.}

There is no such thing as luck in our life. It is Jesus who brings blessings upon blessings to our life. If you sin and do not obey God's word, then, you shall receive the fruit of what you have done or said. Luck does not come from God. Blessings upon blessings come from Him to those who love Him with all their heart, mind, and soul. Loves to serve Him and live a life that pleases Him. Also, there is no such thing as good luck or bad luck. It is God's blessings that are coming to us or lessons which Jesus wants us to learn and never ever do it again.

It sounds like you are very disheartened and totally understand what you are saying about luck. Some people are luckier than others and the saying being in the right place at the right time can make a difference. I do wonder myself how there are really bad people say bad things do bad things and get there ok. I myself have prayed for many many years for my ### to recover he is still struggling and doing all he can to progress. I did become very upset felt anger he is a good person never says anything bad about any one. He just keeps going you just have to keep going and put all your trust in God even when things are not changing. If you have your health and you can walk you can do and change any thing. The best things in life money can’t buy health happiness faith hope. Even when you feel nothing is going right don’t give up keep praying. I know it’s hard but that’s life God is listening to us. We have to be patient and hope pray one day he will decide when it right. God Bless I will light a candle for you when I next go to church.

I love the above, in brief, remove the sinful belong to Satan & righteous to the Creator, I have a very painful experience in salvation, ever since I gave my life to Christ, I have had a series of trials, painful experiences that I didn't meet in my worldly days, things happen easily for sinners coz the devil is not fighting them, he knows those are his already but the devil fights the righteous, torments children of God so bad coz he wants us to join him, Satan wants us to turn back to evil ways, physically we compare our ways with the sinful & say they are better than me who prays, better to backslide. The devil doesn't rest coz of safe souls, but all in all we are always winners, there's no battle that defeats Jesus, time doesn't matter, a breakthrough comes, deliverance, open doors will come, let's keep persisting in prayers. Rem it's written, what you get in sinful ways will one time be like mouth full of sand. A bad beginning makes a good end. I will never turn back from Jesus no matter the trials, challenges am going thru right now, I know God is with me & my day is coming. Jesus is a winner, Satan a loser forever & ever, Amen!!

I give myself to the Lord long ago. He never sends me lucky stars to help me. He does it all alone. Thank you Jesus.

Jesus is no luck charm to trust. Jesus is a real person who wants to bless your life when your trust His word and obey what He said.
