Finals Over, Not because of Luck

“Good luck” says a friend as a depart to my final. “Good luck” says another a few moments later. And another…and another. By now, I should be full of good luck.

No. It is not luck that got me through my finals. It is my sovereign God.

How we speak shows what we believe in and who we are. Should Christians really be wishing luck on others as if a strange cosmic force is the agent that bestows its chance blessings?

“I hope you do well!” or even the imperative “Do well!” is much more encouraging. Are there any other substitute phrases you guys can think of?
