John Maxwells word of the day is of course LUCK! LUCK What does it mean to be lucky? The dictionary describes luck as random, when things happen by chance. Things do seem to happen by chance sometimes... There are times where things happen to people without them putting forth the effort to receive and that can be called LUCK. I choose to call it a BLESSING! The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 An athlete can fall during a race, a business investor can loose their money when a business fails, a friend can be diagnosed with cancer, and yet a criminal may escape without being punished. Equally, good things can happen; people fall in love, cures for diseases are discovered, a job application is accepted, but is it all really just luck? Or, is God really in control? God doesn’t promise us good luck, in fact the word luck is never mentioned in the Bible. There are no random or chance happenings with God in control. God has a purpose for this world and there is no event in our lives that is not in some way a part of that plan. He declares plans to prosper you and not to harm you,plans to give you a future and a hope. It is a test of patience. It is in His timing. It may come faster to others; it does not always predict the future. Celebrate them; however, dont forget to celebrate You, where you are! It is promised. Keep Believing, having Faith. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3 When we wish someone good luck don’t we really mean that we wish them success, happiness, good health, happy families, contentment and other good things?Perhaps instead of wishing our friends good luck it would be much better to say God bless you:) Have an Ah Mazing day! As you go out and make the difference in others, May the Lord Bless You and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord turn His face towards you and give you peace. Get Your Green On:) Happy St Paddys day!
