People go to horoscopes to find direction for their lives but God has something to say about that.
Talking Points:
- Horoscopes are just general, broad statements that can apply to anyone. People who offer such guidance will make these general statements and then watch to see if the hearer responds to that information.
- The Bible actually speaks against anyone who practices things like witchcraft and fortune telling. Such things are detestable to God. Deuteronomy 18:10-14
- If we believe God is who he says he is and that His word is true, then we have no need to look anywhere else for guidance. God wants to reveal his plans for our lives. Jeremiah 15:16, Psalm 32:8
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- Share about a person in your life who reads their horoscope regularly. Why do they seek that out?
- Share any experience you’ve had with fortune tellers, palm readings, mediums or the like. What were you hoping to get from that experience?
- Read Deuteronomy 18:10-13. Why were people engaged in this behavior back in the days of Moses? Why did God forbid it?
- Read Jeremiah 15:16. What does it mean to devour something? Why is God’s truth worth being our source of joy and delight?
- Read Psalm 32:8. What does this verse say about God’s involvement in our lives? Why is it dangerous to put more stock in what others say compared to what God says?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
