If we look at our horoscope, check our fortune cookie, or turn to the stars or crystals, does Jesus think it's as a fun, harmless thing we are doing?
You wouldn’t believe the number of Christians who
read their horoscope each day. Most
people that I’ve talked to think that reading their horoscope is harmless,
something they do as a joke. It’s kind
of scary to think how insidious a thing like reading a horoscope can be.
Sometimes people start reading it just for fun. Then it starts creeping into their mind. They think things like, “I probably shouldn’t
do this thing today because my horoscope said it isn’t a good day to do things
like this.” Then they find themselves
not doing things because they didn’t read their horoscope that morning and they
don’t want to make any major decisions until they’ve read it. They probably don’t even realize that they
are being led astray by turning to something other than God for guidance. It’s worth assessing the little things that
we do that allow our focus to be pulled away from God.
Here is a related passages:
*And he [Manasseh] did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after
the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel
It’s worth assessing the little things that we do that allow our focus to be pulled away from God.
