Bible Quotes About Luck

10 Scripture verses about luck from the King James Version, with full verse text for study and meditation.

Scripture reveals that what is often called 'luck' is ultimately under the sovereign control of God, who directs the steps of His people and accomplishes His will according to His pleasure (Psalms 115:3; Proverbs 16:9). While human understanding is limited and events may appear random or subject to chance (Ecclesiastes 9:11), the casting of lots and all outcomes are governed by the Lord’s providence (Proverbs 16:33). Believers are called to trust in the LORD wholeheartedly rather than lean on their own understanding, recognizing that no power or circumstance is outside God's authority (Proverbs 3:5; Isaiah 46:9).
