Micah 3:6-7 The Horror In Horoscopes

Micah 3:6-7

6 Therefore it will be a night for you—without vision, And darkness for you—without divination.

Indeed, they will all cover their lips Because there is no answer from God.

People have always wanted a heads up on their tomorrow, to be prepared to meet a soulmate, to know if a job or promotion was coming and the numbers to use for a lottery.

Only a person with a real close relationship with the Maker of the star can and read what God has in store for him or her. 

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

 Ask yourself, my brothers and sisters, and I need to ask myself also, should we go to stars, trees, cows, bats, green plants, or mushrooms to get answers to our question or try to see a prediction for our tomorrows. If so, whose voice is louder, the twinkling stars, or God’s voice who made the stars and your ear that is supposed to hear God’s voice?

Deuteronomy 4:19 And be careful not to raise your eyes to heaven and look at the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the heavenly lights, and allow yourself to be drawn away and worship them and serve them, things which the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
