In this story we see that the people did things that were very superstious. We have been taught a lot of things that are not correct. The whole idea of bad luck was developed by people who do not know God or who did not love God. God is in charge of the Universe and only He made and it. God is the one who brings life and He alone can bring salvation. We all have physical problems because we are living in a world that is under a curse. If we are in Christ, we will gain a new body with no physical defects that will live forever. God knew what He was doing when he made us. He designed us with a purpose and a plan. We should not attempt to manipluate our situations and make silly plans when God has already promised us and told us what to do. Sin is not okay, even though God uses the sin that we do to accomplish His will. God is the author of life and is in charge of everything.
