Opus 2011-106, Christian Luck, an Oxymoron

For a long time I have been trying to avoid the use of the word "luck" in relation to my life.  Luck has the idea of chance and randomness that I don’t think is applicable in the life of a Christian.  I came across this statement by John Wesley in his Journals, dated July 6, 1781:
“So far as fortune or chance governs the world, God has no place in it.”
We should talk about being blessed, not lucky.  God is sovereign.
