Good Luck and God's Love

Good Luck is something that most people hold on to when they have nothing with them to defend their rotting souls from getting rotten...

Is there such a thing like "luck" itself? Or is there anything that brings it? Or, isn't it that we are the only ones who could bring it to ourselves? Or is there a supreme being that actually controls the entire show of life to the point that each of us has his own role - to be either a protagonist or an antagonist, the one who succeeds or the one who fails? Does luck come without prerequisites? Or does it only stick to a blessed few?

A lot of people stick to the connotation of luck in almost everything that goes along with success and failure. If one fails, then probably luck is not with him.

The idea of luck originated in Indochina and most of its concepts came from China's "Yin Yang." Others came from Europe where there is polytheism. It believed that good luck comes when specific orders from gods are accomplished according to the will of a specific god. Along with these, it was believed that the use of some artifacts such as gems and stones that belonged to or is blessed by these gods would bring good luck.

Some people would say luck comes along with one's own knowledge of the path he tackles. He has to be an expert to be successful. It does makes sense.

But a point was raised that luck has stuck into these intellectual individuals such that they have the knowledge to excel in their own fields. It also makes sense to those who believe in luck.

But I... I believe in God's Lock...

God's Lock on the other hand is a promise that goes with those who believe wholly in him and the trinity.

Some people would question of its existence and feasibility. But experience tells, the lock exists. And for someone who have read the entire bible, it is constantly repeated to inculcate God's love for humanity.

Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

Put yourself now in a right relation with him and be at peace: so will you do well in your undertakings

Job 22:21

And so, we don not need the pearls, the gems, the artifacts to do well, we only need to please God and have faith in Him.

In the testaments, it read the stories of Abraham and his descendants and the adventures of David. The bible constantly revealed that the people who actually did according to His will were blessed and have succeeded in the paths they took and those who failed to please him suffered. It applies to all, until now.

God is really so loving that he has promised to fulfill our prayers.

You might disagree. Probably, your prayers were not granted.

The reason, you may ask - you were not delightful before His very eyes, you did not have faith in Him.

And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith. Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire. For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.

Mark 11:21-24

I am one of the thousands who would testify, that God has granted my prayers... not just because I did good but I had faith in God's Lock.
