I say a prayer every morning as I go to work. Does that mean I’m going to have a better day than everyone else in my office, or have less of a chance that some idiot at 4:30 in the morning is going to run a red light and T-bone me? Nope. Having a one-on-one speaking relationship with God is not like carrying some sort of Divine Rabbits Foot. But yet we still pray and trust in Him. This is something the secular world will never understand.
Excellent post!
All that believers are promised are trials and tribulations. That question concerning a Divine Rabbits Foot was settled with Job. Else people would follow God (or pretend) for the sake of being protected. The trials on earth are to remind us to not get too comfortable here. This is only temporary.
