Very Superstitious

I am committed to blog daily during Advent. I don't actually like daily blog commitments because sometimes it's hard to find a topic or inspiration.

Today I did struggle. Then I realized my topic was staring back at me whenever I looked at my watch.  It's Friday the 13th.  Is that ok to believe in as a Christian?

I am not claiming to be an expert, but I think this is a definite no.  Believing that something bad is going to happen to you just because of the calendar is believing something over God.  That's directly against the 1st Commandmant.  In fact, believing in any superstition violates the 1st Commandmant.  Superstition is a sin against God.

Can you do things out of habit like putting on you left shoe first. Sure. Can you go to a Friday the 13th Party? Yes. Can I pick up a penny for luck? Yep. As long as you don't believe that the way you put your shoes on, or the calendar or that penny actually will have an impact on what happens to you or anyone else. Only God has that control.

Definitely no to Ouija Boards or Tarot Cards though. Those are both superstition and silly.
