Isaiah 8:19 - The
people will say, “Go to the fortunetellers and wizards who mumble and
chirp like birds. Ask them what to do.” But I say, “Shouldn’t people go to
their God for help? Why go to the dead to get help for the living?”
With all of the chaos and uncertainty that is prevailing in
society today, many are seeking answers and solutions from sources outside of
God’s wisdom. Driving down many city
streets there are dozens of marquees touting the services of Fortune Tellers
and Tarot Card Readers; all promising to be able to deliver inspired,
‘spiritual’ insight into any problem presented.
Whether the inquiry is about love, prosperity, career choice, or seeking
lottery numbers, the gullible are taken in and cheated because of their
desperation to find ways to cope with the uncertainty of life.
Do not be fooled; tarot cards, tea leaf reading; horoscopes and
fortune telling are all sides of the same coin – Not Trusting God. One of the most poignant lessons found in
scripture is the fact the God only moves by his timing; not by our whines,
complaints, pleads or bargaining; and surely not through the use of agents who
operate against his will. Some may believe that it is harmless to pursue such
practices; but God is very straight forward in his edits of whom we should seek
when we are in need of answers. Why go
to the dead (Confucius, Mohammed, Buddha) when we serve a living Lord? Ask the Holy Spirit to direct you to the
right sources…then patiently wait on the Lord and be of good courage. Do not be anxious and run ahead of God… be
patient and all that you need to know shall be revealed to you.
Every day
is a good day`; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Don’t be distracted –
stay focused on your purpose! Be
blessed. Dr. JoAnn
