Superstition and Luck

Ken

Superstition and luck are the irrational belief that some guiding force for good or ill is directing life. The supernatural is by definition an unnatural explanation for events, describing both God and the devil. Faith and confidence are associated with God, while superstition and luck are not. When Paul was bit by a venomous snake, the superstitious islanders concluded he was a murderer being justly punished; but, when he survived, they called him a god. Take care to give the Almighty your confidence and all the glory; otherwise, like Herod taking undue credit for his speech, God will judge you. “And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost” (Acts 12:23 KJV).
