The horoscope section of the daily news is consistent in one thing. It never tells us anything specific. It hints, suggests, and offers guidance so vague that we can interpret it just about any way we want.
How would that work in the field of finance? We buy a home, and we sign on the dotted line with only a suggestion of a price hovering out there, one someone will eventually fill in depending on the circumstances of the day.
Or we apply for a new job with no more than a hint of our duties and pay. We wander the building hoping we will eventually find an office, and that we will actually get a real paycheck come Friday.
In actuality, we do this all the time. We spend our days in the earthly realm, hoping the spiritual one will sort itself out. Ah, reincarnation is the assurance of the moment. Later we think: I was saved as a young girl, so what I do now doesn’t matter. Once saved, always saved, after all. Or we don’t bother at all, for what God would send his creation to a very real and painful hell? Of course we’ll all be in heaven with him.
All we have to do is look up, and we will find the truth in the stars (and that doesn’t mean we are to follow the day’s horoscope).
Psalm 19:1 tells us “the heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.”
Matthew 2:2 gives us the wise men’s words: “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
Jeremiah 10:2 cautions us to “not be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them.”
Genesis 1:16 reminds us that “God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.”
So, what is this all about? The glory of the Lord, of course. His power is shown in all creation, and when we look at the stars above, we can find finger after finger pointing directly unto him.
We can read of our coming Savior in Luke 21:25-27:
“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”
Where is the power in our daily horoscopes? What truth can we find in astrology? The stars are all about Jesus and his Father, the Almighty God of Creation. When we look up, let’s look for him. We can read him in the stars.
When the majesty of creation surrounds us, we are enveloped in the loving hands of our fabulous heavenly Father.
