Hello darlings,happy weekend to y'all.
I've been wanting to bare my mind all along on an issue that has left me wondering if there are swift and fast rules to life.
At one point or another,i've heard people say something like..."Oh she passed that difficult exam?she's lucky"...
"He just landed a new job?...He's such a lucky chap"
Hello??? Is there anything like being lucky??
Let's take a quick look at the definition of the word "luck"
(google to the rescue)
Definition from google
[luhk]
1.
the force that seems to operate for good or ill in a person's life, as in shaping circumstances, events, opportunities:
With my luck I'll probably get pneumonia.
2.
good fortune; advantage or success,considered as the result of chance:
He had no luck finding work.
From the first definition, i'll love to ask these questions:
1.What exactly is this force?
2.How does this force operate?
3.How does this force know who to bless with good or evil?
Now your guess is as good as mine with the answers...
Let me move to definition 2..
What is chance?
Let me get the meaning before I ask my questions...(google to the rescue)

chance/CHans/
noun

adjective

verb

good fortune; advantage or success,considered as the result of chance /
the occurrence and development of events in the absence of any obvious design...
Wow!!,this definition leaves me utterly confused..I want to categorically state (my opinion though) that there is nothing like luck.
There's a supreme being up above who pilots the affairs of men..God is a spirit not a force.He blesses who he chooses to bless...He will show mercy on whom he'll show mercy.
1 Chronicles 17:13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
The grace of God makes the difference not luck...i'd rather have God work on my behalf than an unseen force I can't comprehend..
Astrologers who read astral signs deceive people a lot with tarot readings and they sheepishly go along with the flow...
No one has seen God..No one can fathom him...
He doesn't favour anyone above another because he wants to be wicked...It's his grace that matters.
What might strike u as success today may turn out to be an epic failure in the mind's eye of someone else.
To some,riding a car,living in a mansion,trips to foreign countries,a successful career is the "definition of success'
But to another person," Being a graduate,getting married, Training his/her kids up to University level, Having a happy home is the definition of success to them...
Everyone 's destiny ain't the same.Life is not a competition.
That you got pregnant immediately after marriage doesn't make that barren woman's life worse than yours.
Getting a good job after University degree whilst your mates are still scampering from one office to another with their CVs' in large brown envelopes doesn't make you better than them.
The Grace of God makes the difference....Grace is like a toothbrush..It's not shared. It's unique...
Full Definition of Grace from word.com

a :unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification
b :a virtue coming from God
Next time you wanna embark on any thing,ask God for "GRACE". Forget about luck.
Grace is unmerited,you don't work for it.
Ask from God that gives freely...
May God give you Grace in all you do...
If something doesn't go the way you plan,be happy.
Is there anything like excessive happiness?
Have a blessed weekend.
Xoxo!!
