Since Jesus said that the meek shall inherit the Earth, and was always hanging around the less fortunate, you might argue that good fortune is something that is intended to take you away from God.

If you are a good man and acquire some money, you'll be happy, so it's like a gift from God.
But if you are greedy and acquire some money, you'll just want more.
So to answer your question, if you are good, then fortune is good because you know how to handle it.
But if you are greedy then money won't help your cause.
You are free to choose between being moderate or being greedy, that is your free-will and your gift from God.

Both, according to your pious activities, then God rewards.
Conditional material existence is based on sense gratification, good fortune means to get a good wife, house, car, etc. but we should aware of the influence of eternal time, which devours all the effects of our material activities. The body is born at a certain time, and immediately the influence of time acts upon it. From the date of the birth of the body, the influence of death is also acting. So the so-called good fortune is temporary and mixed with miseries.

Good fortune is a gift from God. It is the result of living in God's will. As a Christian, we are to thank God for all of our many blessings. I believe that living with the mantra " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." is the answer to a good life!!!

i'm not sure if this question pertains to bullies, God, or the "unfastened present." So i'm going to remark on all. remark on bully: i think a bully could experience like a god after he has pushed human beings to place as much as him. Bullies thrive on power. even nonetheless, in comparison to God, Himself, a bully may well be put in his place. remark on God: He would not bully you into submission. He can provide a decision. on the "unfastened present." God has given us many unfastened presents, purely using fact He loves us. As for the bully. Get a Bible. Stick a notice on it that asserts "unfastened present," then positioned it in his locker.

There is no God. It's a consequence of crap happening, some good and some bad. Generally, if you work at it, you'll have more good happen than bad.
