Matthew 5:45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Psalm 75:7
But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Just some thoughts. I don't believe in luck. I do believe in chance and coincidence occasionally, but I believe that the Child of God's life has been turned over to Him and He is at the helm, working it all together. |

They can't see the good in life and they will only see what is wrong....their actions and their expectations will be along the same lines....
Just like those who see the good in life... They will find joy in hard times and they will make it thru... Their actions will also follow their outlook on life. They may mess up, but they will see it as a learning experience and they will make the best of it... It's not because they have good luck...

But good luck and bad luck?! As LC said earlier, it sounds like superstition to me.

Good posts!!! I agree! 
Attitude has a lot to do with "luck."
