Not Luck, but Favor for the Righteous

"For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield." (Psalm 5: 12)

As believers, we do not need luck, nor do we have to seek the favor of any traditional saint, for in Christ we are made saints:

"Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you." (Philippians 4: 21)

In Christ, we are made not just righteous, but the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5: 21)

That is the highest standard possible, and in Christ we receive this blessed justification.

What are some of the good that awaits the righteous?

"The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted." (Proverbs 10: 24)

and

"As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation." (Proverbs 10: 25)

and

"The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish." (Proverbs 10: 28)

This and more await the righteous in Christ.

Forget the rabbit's foot, forget the four-leaf clover, and forget the blarney and the kiss of the Irish.

Look to the Cross, the sign of our victory for all time, and receive all the blessings which come with being made righteous in Him.
