Do you believe in Miracles/luck?

[John T 744]

Or do you believe in you make your own luck/Miracles?

Absolutely. Luck falls into many area's of life IMO. I was and feel lucky for many things in life.

Good one Rob. I feel at times I make my own luck but other times I feel extremely lucky especially as far as my family is concerned.

One might think they are responsible for what they have achieved,luck, miracle ect....

But the Good Lord gave u what u have and he could take it away in a heart beat.

Sometimes he does to get our attention!

Hey Al what determines why one guy may have so much including having excellent health and another guy hardly has much of anything and his health is terrible when they both love God equally?

(I know, I know.. I need to stop thinking so analytically:)

It is kind of irrelevant if two people Love God Equally.

Just because someone believes in God and even follow his commandments

(Meaning being nice, good hearted, don't drink, smoke or cuss ect..)

Does not mean that they are a "Born Again Christian"

Ephesians 2:8-9 talks about "Saved by Grace not Works"

Now if you have two Born Again Christians,

One is blessed with health, wealth and success and the other is struggling in those areas.

One may look at it "As the Valleys we go through in life"

You have to go through the Valleys to reach the Peaks.

The Valleys "Should” only make us stronger.

On the other hand...One day we will ALL lose our health and the importance of money and success,

Weather it be a sickness or accident or even if we are fortunate enough to live to grow old and die of

Old age..

In the worst case scenario someone might fear today “which is probably dying”

Even then Gods give us Peace in our Hearts.

Another way to look at it is….Jesus was persecuted…It don’t even come close to our troubles

And Matthew 5:10 tell “How Blessed are those who are Persecuted”

Not sure if I answered you question, but I hope it helps.

Excellent Al!! That's about the best explanation I ever received concerning this. I appreciate this and also the time you took to write this. It makes sense the way you post this which tells me you do know what your posting about.

Thank you:smile-new:

Who is watching "The Bible" on the history channel ???

[John T 744]

Unfortunately I'm watching one of the few shows I watch on TV "Shameless". I love watching underdogs try to overcome but these people are a bit of a sleaze and scary thing is I know people like this.
