Deuteronomy 18:10-12 NIV “Let no one be found among you…who practices divination, or interprets omens… Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
The more I wrote these divination devotions, the more I began to understand why God wanted me to do them. While I don’t fall prey to these things now, I was fascinated by them in the past. I myself thought it was just harmless. I didn’t give thought to the doors I was opening, and how that was a clear invitation for the enemy to swoop in.
Beyond that, the fascination with anything involved in the occult drew me away from the Lord’s presence and guidance. When that happens, we give power to the enemy to have a stronghold in our lives. This is a small fraction of why we are told to guard our hearts [Proverbs 4:23]. When everything flows from it, you want to be sure it’s in the right place.
There are probably a lot of things I didn’t actually cover in this series, but I have a couple reminders for you:
- Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to “Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” I find that with Jesus, there is no guess work. If the stars were made to worship him, why would I worship them?
- Remember that if it doesn’t glorify the Father- it’s not from him and most likely only leads to harm. When in doubt, pray it out and tell the enemy to flee.
Never Ending Praise The Lord
