人需要的是「運氣」，還是「真神」？

 ★關於運氣與真神的對比思考：

1.共同點：都不是人所能控制

2.不同點：
  (1)運氣沒有理則可言，神有
  (2)運氣不是人敬拜的對象，神是

★進一步思考：

1.人希望運氣為己所用，但只能被動的「碰、遇、交」上好運，無法主宰它

2.神的意念高過人的意念，神的權柄高過一切。人抗拒神的權柄是無效的：不是順服神而活，就是抗拒神而死

3.「人渴望運氣」，與「人抗拒真神」的共同心態是：以自己為中心（這是很危險的）
按：《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》書中提出的「吸引力法則」，就是有華麗包裝的危險觀點：「當你真心渴望某樣東西時，整個宇宙都會聯合起來，幫助你完成」——個人的自以為義，憑什麼整個宇宙要聯合起來幫你完成呢？

4.運氣是人為了滿足慾望而虛構出來的東西，以簡化/合理化那些「己力無法掌控的外在因素」。
真神則不然，是昔在今在永在的神，「自從造天地以來，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖是眼不能見，但藉著所造之物就可以曉得，叫人無可推諉。」（羅1:20）

5.運氣既是出於人的虛構，自然缺乏信靠的實底。
神的話語必要應驗，真神的永活與信實，是人可信靠的真實，沒有虛妄。

結論
1.尋求神，認識神，信靠神。

2.不要陷溺在個人的慾望想像裡，空等運氣的到來。
經文：「虛空的虛空，虛空的虛空，凡事都是虛空。」（傳1:2）

★ Reflections on the Contrast Between Luck and the True God:

1. Similarity: Both are beyond human control.

2. Differences:

(1) Luck has no rationale or principles, but God does.

(2) Luck is not an object of human worship, but God is.

★ Further Reflection:

1. People hope to make luck work for them, but they can only passively “hit, encounter, or run into” good luck; they cannot rule over it.

2. God’s thoughts are higher than human thoughts, and His authority surpasses all. Human resistance to God’s authority is futile: one either lives in submission to God or dies in resistance to Him.

3. The shared mindset between “people desiring luck” and “people resisting the true God” is this: being self-centered (which is very dangerous).

Note: In The Alchemist, the “Law of Attraction” is a dangerously packaged idea: “When you truly desire something, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve it.” — Yet this is human self-righteousness. On what basis should the entire universe conspire to help you?

4. Luck is something humans fabricate to satisfy their desires, in order to simplify or rationalize the “external factors beyond their control.”

The true God, however, is not like this. He is the One who was, who is, and who is to come:

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)

5. Since luck originates from human imagination, it naturally lacks a foundation for trust.

God’s Word will certainly be fulfilled. The living and faithful true God is a reality in whom people can trust—without falsehood.

Conclusion

1. Seek God, know God, and trust in God.

2. Do not drown in personal desires and fantasies, passively waiting for luck to arrive.
