Superstition

Black cats, cracks in a sidewalk, saying the same thing as a friend, or just a strange wind. For some it’s out of habit while others truly believe in coincidence and chance. It is almost second nature to say “aren’t you lucky” when a friend gets a better grade on a test than we think they deserve. Even after my car accident a couple months ago, “Luckily it wasn’t bad, luckily no one was hurt, and I was lucky I got a new car that is rather nice,” were the phrases that came out of my mouth without hesitation. I even named my car Lucky. But we all need opportunities to learn and grow; mine was a conversation with my dad. He reminded me that being a Christian, I don’t believe in luck and chance; I believe in a God who created, loved, and constantly gives us GRACE, ironically my topic yesterday. Now my car’s name is Grace because it was by the grace of God that no one was hurt, it was by the grace of God that I got a new car, and it was by the grace of God it is as nice as it is. So while some choose to live with a belief in superstition, luck and chance, I choose to put my belief is a God and his grace as I go about my everyday life.

Ephesians 2:7-9 In order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Oh and by the way. The grace he has given me this week has been incredible. Theatre test = 100. Psych test = 94!!!
