Is “luck” a subject the Bible addresses? Is it even something we need to think about?
After all, isn’t the word “luck” just something we hear thrown around all the time— though maybe more so certain times of the year, such as on St. Patrick’s Day (alongside “leprechauns”)?
How should parents understand “luck” and talk about this concept with their kids?
On one hand, saying “that was lucky” or “good luck” isn’t a big deal. They’re just expressions or figures of speech. Seldom is anyone consciously considering any hidden significance.
On the other hand, words do have meaning and do reflect the way that we view the world.
In this case, it’s worth considering that belief in luck traces its roots to pagan beliefs and the occult.
