The word luck is often confused with the word blessed.

“Forget not His benefits.” Ps.103 People use the word lucky when they should be using the word blessed. I think what they are trying to say is that they realize that some good things have come to them outside of any effort on their part. For instance, they might think being born healthy or in America isn’t something they deserve, its just good luck. They are right when they realize they have not earned these things but wrong when they give credit to fate instead of to God. We often need grace even to understand when grace has been given to us.
