Say No to Horoscopes
Listen girl! Stop it now!
You are made in the image of GOD. Not the stars, not the sun. Why are you allowing your life and destiny to be dictated by the position of the sun when the Designer of the sun has ordered your steps, and written your story and numbered the hairs on your head? He intricately crafted the order of the world, and it is still operating according to HIS design. Why would you trust in the stars to craft your future when the stars are worshipping HIM? The sun moves at God’s timing, so how can it effect you? The sun provides light, heat, and energy for us but it has no will or purpose of its own. The sun is not personified. It does not love you. Why would it effect your life? Why chance your life on a myth when the truth, the real, The Heavenly Father wants to be in relationship with you? You spend all your life casting and making predictions but when you die, does the sun stop? Do the stars mourn? Nope. Life goes on as normal. Regardless of if you are here or not. But I know God has prepared a place for you even after this life and all He requires is that you acknowledge in your heart and confess that His Son Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, has died for your sins and resurrected to transform your life!
See when the Word of God says have no other gods beside Me, He meant that! God- the Creator, the One in charge, the Reason for life, the Good Father, the Master, Lord, and King. The Beginning and End. The First and Last. Everything else is just creation which mean we are subjected to the rule and establishment of the Creator! All throughout the Bible, The Master is admonishing the people of God not to get caught up in alternative gods and worshipping things, especially knowing that His presence is fully available. He desires to freely to give us the wisdom we need concerning our lives. Our identity as His children comes from Him. We shouldn’t find our identity in other things outside of Him.
Many places in the Bible, we find the writers explicitly letting the people know not the turn to the elements for worship. Worship means to let something know what it is worth to you, and your behaviors testify the truth of what you worship. Deuteronomy 4:19 says “And when you look up into the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars—all the forces of heaven—don’t be seduced into worshiping them. The Lord your God gave them to all the peoples of the earth.” Another scripture in Colossians 2:8 says, “Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers[a] of this world, rather than from Christ.”
It’s tempting, because we are born in this broken world, to go along with what is the norm and the usual. But the people of God are called to be set apart from the world and to have ultimate dedication and commitment to God, despite the world’s disloyalty. So, to be a daughter of God, to seek the stars and creation for your life’s understanding is treason to God. To lift your hand in allegiance to a sign, a name, an identity opposing the order of God in your life is to be in relationship conflict with Him. It is to put a block, a wall, a stopper in the place where His grace, His power, His Spirit should freely flow. He cannot be mocked. If we continue to play God as if He is just another playa on our list that we call whenever we need a free meal or a pick me up, will we continue to be unfulfilled and disappointed in the outcomes of our lives.
You ever wondered why one day you are sure and satisfied and then the next time you are hopeless, in despair and cannot believe God and His promises? It seems like you are not getting answers and your prayers go unheard. Like you are constantly on an up and down rollercoaster and confusion and chaos seems to surround your life. You are unsure of your future and destiny constantly and you feel anxiety and need suppression tactics such as drugs and alcohol to carry you throughout your days. Are you addicted to positivity and good “vibes” because you are too fearful of the ugly, painful truth? Girl dabbling in too many false signs will have you unsure if God is real. And what becomes more real is the cloud of confusion in your spirit because you have built your house on sand.
If you are reading this today, I dare you to try, to fully give your heart, and your life, and your future in the solid, loving, concerned hands of God. The Creator of the Entire Universe, wants YOU to know HIM and HE WANTS to direct YOU, and TEACH YOU, and HELP YOU and SHOW YOU what abundant life looks like! If you have JESUS, you have EVERYTHING! It just takes looking past the sky, to seek Heaven. Put the horoscope down Sis. Look At GOD!
