GUIDANCE IS NOT IN THE STARS

Do you read your horoscope? Have your palm read? Consult a psychic? Whether you do this on your own, pay someone to do it for you, or even play around with these things at a party, you are participating in an occult practice. Webster: Occult: of or pertaining to magic, astrology, or any system claiming use or knowledge of secret or supernatural powers or agencies.
More importantly, what does the bible have to say about such practices? "Let no one be found among you ... practice divination." Deut. 18:10 Webster: Divination: the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means.
"They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped." Jeremiah 8:2
"And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon, and the stars...do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven."
Perhaps the strongest biblical support that astrology is condemned by God is this verse: "Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month...Surely they are like stubble. The fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves." Isaiah 47:13-14.
An extrabiblical argument against astrology: "Astrology is based on Ptolemy's misunderstanding that the earth was the center of the universe rather than the sun being the center. Therefore astrology is based on a false premise which in turn renders its conclusion false." From: Astrology & Psychic Phenomena, by Andre' Kole & Terry Holley, Zondervan Publishing House, 1998, pg. 73.
Our God is a jealous God. He wants us all to Himself. He created us. He knows what's best for us. He created the stars, the sun and the moon, the earth and everything in it for us to live in and enjoy - NOT to worship it. We are to worship our creator, NOT the created. To do so is to worship something other than God.
"Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." Exodus 34:14 Seeking advice and guidance from any other source other than God or His word and those entrusted in Him (preachers, Christian family and friends who worship God alone) is to worship the god of created things.
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 Since this is true, why would we seek advice from anything other than Jesus alone? Need advice and counsel? "... seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 and of His word: "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." God bless you as you seek Him alone in ALL that you do!
