Do I Have a Lucky Star?

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do some people seem so lucky? Is there such a thing as a lucky star? And do I have one?”

In everyday language, people use the phrase “lucky star” to describe someone who seems to succeed easily or unexpectedly. For instance, one person may dig for gold and suddenly strike a rich deposit, while others search for years without success. Another may graduate from college and land a great job immediately, even ahead of others who have waited longer. Some seem to thrive in business with little effort, landing major deals while others struggle.

Naturally, we might think such people were “born under a lucky star.”

But is that really true?

What the Bible Says About Luck and Blessing

The truth is, the Bible does not teach that people are born with random luck or astrological fortune. Instead, it teaches that blessing comes from a relationship with God, and true success begins in the soul.

Worldly “luck” may seem appealing, but it is often unstable and fleeting. Even the enemy, Satan, can offer material gain to deceive and destroy (see Matthew 4:8–9). That kind of success cannot provide peace, salvation, or eternal security.

The True “Star” Worth Following — Jesus Christ

In the Gospel of Matthew, we read a powerful account of wise men from the East who were guided not by fate, but by a divine sign: the star of Jesus.

Matthew 2:1–2
“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.’”

This star wasn’t just any star—it represented the birth of the Savior of the world. The wise men understood what many still miss today: true blessing is found in finding and worshiping Christ.

Matthew 2:10–11
“When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him.”

That is the joy of discovering Christ: it surpasses all worldly success. He is the “bright morning star” (Revelation 22:16), the one worth following above all else.

What Happens When You Follow Jesus

When you repent and believe in Jesus (Mark 1:15), you are forgiven of sin and set free from the eternal curse of death. Every person is born into sin (Romans 3:23), but through Christ, we are made righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21).

When Jesus becomes Lord of your life:

You are no longer under judgment but are given eternal life (Romans 6:23).
You receive the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13–14), who transforms your heart and character.
You begin to experience inner peace, spiritual growth, and victory over sin (Galatians 5:22–24).

Jesus doesn’t just change your spiritual life; He also brings purpose, provision, and blessing in every area. His promises are not empty—they are grounded in eternal truth.

Matthew 19:29
“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.”

When you walk with Jesus, you don’t need to rely on superstitions, horoscopes, or witchdoctors. Those paths lead only to confusion and spiritual bondage.

Deuteronomy 18:10–12
“There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes… for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.”

In contrast, Jesus offers life, truth, and lasting joy.

Proverbs 10:22
“The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.”

Jesus Is the True Blessing

So, do you want to know what your true “lucky star” is?

It’s not a star in the sky. It’s the Morning Star—Jesus Christ.

When you put your faith in Him, you receive far more than temporary success. You receive:

Peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7),
A new heart and renewed mind (Romans 12:2),
Purpose and identity in God (1 Peter 2:9),
And the guarantee of eternal life (John 3:16).

That’s not luck—that’s divine grace.

So instead of chasing temporary fortune or seeking help from ungodly sources, turn to Jesus. He is the only one who can truly bless you, guide you, and give you a future that lasts forever.
