What does the Bible say about luck and chance?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that there is no such thing as luck or chance; everything occurs according to God's divine decree.

In Scripture, there are no fortuitous events or accidental happenings. The Apostle James states, 'known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.' This affirms that every event is ordained by God, who possesses infinite wisdom and knows all that will transpire, as highlighted in Ephesians 1:11, which declares that God works 'all things after the counsel of his own will.' Thus, events that appear random are truly part of God's providential governance over creation.
