    many believers still believe in luck and yet believe in God as the protector and almighty,

    is there a contradiction in that behavior ?
    what is that show s if we believe in luck ?

    allThe Goddess Fortuna is an ancient Roman goddess believed to shower luck and good fortune on the citizens of Rome who worshipped and respected her. The Greek God Hermes is believed to bring wealth and good luck to sportsmen whilst he protected traders and herds. Hermes was the son of Zeus and he wore winged sandals and a winged hat and carried a golden Caduceus (magic wand), intertwined with snakes. The Egyptian Good Luck God was the dwarf Bes who's female counterpart was Beset. Together they protected against the evil eye and black magic. The Japanese believe in seven Gods of good luck; The first God Hotei carries a bag of treasures around with him to distribute amongst fans and believers. He looks a bit like a jolly Buddha. The second is Bishamon, he brings luck in battle and defence. Benten is the third and she is the goddess of luck in love, the arts, music, and literature. She represents all womanly aspects, and is always seen with a sea serpent and playing a Japanese lute. Daikoku the fourth of the luck gods looks after farmers and wealth and money matters. The fifth, Ebisu, is the patron of fishermen and hard work. The sixth is Jurojin and he is the god of luck through wisdom and ancient age. He appears as a very old man surrounded by wild animals, which he takes care of. Finally, the seventh is Ukurokujo, the god of miracles and amazing events. He has short legs, a short chest, and a very large head.

    AllEcc 9:11 I have seen something else under the sun:
    The race is not to the swift
    or the battle to the strong,
    nor does food come to the wise
    or wealth to the brilliant
    or favor to the learned;
    but time and chance(circumstances) happen to them all.
    Ecc 9:12 Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come:
    As fish are caught in a cruel net,
    or birds are taken in a snare,
    so men are trapped by evil times
    that fall unexpectedly upon them

    it seems to me that the word chance as no place in scriptures,because it would mean that God does not know.

    I can say truthfully that anyone who believe in luck is relying on the false god of luck and not On God the father of Christ the creator.

    and so is faith is corrupted.

    whatever happen in this world has and is happening under Gods will,

    it is men by the refusal to accept Gods will and understanding that create all the misery that are happen on earth .
