Horoscopes

I honestly haven’t thought about horoscopes in a long time, until I joined Facebook. One of the popular applications that some of my friends use is a daily horoscope. A horoscope is a forecast of a person’s future, typically including a delineation of character and circumstances, based on the relative positions of the stars and planets at the time of that person’s birth.

Some people may use a horoscope for “fun,” but the existence of horoscopes go against the direction of God’s will. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” The Lord promises to be with us and guide us with the scriptures, not with some made up speculation about the future. No studies have shown any scientific support for the accuracy of horoscopes. Would you not rather put your trust in the all powerful God? Matthew 6:34 says, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” You may think they are “fun,” but they direct your confidence away from the Lord. There’s no “fun” in that!
