I agree.

And remember the old adage - “people make their own luck,” which mainly comes from being prepared and then acting when opportunity presents itself.

Luck is the residue of preparation.

[People make their own luck.]

“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” Psalm 90:2. Luck is nonexistent. Luck in any form is not of God. We don’t get lucky. The dictionary describes luck as “success that seems to happen by chance”. Good luck, good fortune, chance, bad luck, these are all derived from a pagan mindset. In paganism God is replaced by a lucky set of circumstances. Yet true Christians know nothing happens by chance. This is how the whole idea of evolution got started and promoted to the extent that it is today. People are overwhelmingly inclined to believe in chance because they’ve been so programmed.
