Today is the day that many people will eat black-eyed peas and hog jowls, so they’ll have good luck all year.  In addition to the fact that eating pig is not good for you, and that God told His people to leave it alone, when He gave them the dietary laws, doing anything in a superstitious way is an insult to God.  Now, even as I write that, I know I can’t convince my momma that it’s true.  But, it is true.

Circumstances, either good or bad, do not come to us by luck.  We have a Sovereign God, who in His providence, works all things according to His will.  If you want good to come your way in this new year, make sure that you love and obey God.  Nothing will put you in a better position to experience good.  Superstition is of the devil, repent of it and put your faith in God.
