“Should
not a people seek their God?” Isaiah 8:19
The occult is not a new phenomenon.
It has been around as long as mankind has abandoned God and sought another
means for answering life’s mysteries. Mediums and witches were under the edict
of death in the Old Testament law. They were a threat to the right thinking of
God’s people. In the days of Isaiah, nearly one thousand years after the law
was given, Israel still hadn’t gotten rid of the mediums. The people still
sought their direction from spiritualists and not from God. God challenged them
to think about Who was really in charge.
Today we seek advice from so many
worldly sources for advice on every conceivable area of our lives. Life coaches
who don’t know the Life giver are becoming increasingly popular. They are in a
way the spiritualists of today. God says that we should seek Him. He alone
knows the way because He alone is the Way. Seek Him and He will show us the
true way to life and understanding.
Dear Father, You alone are all wise;
let us seek You alone for guidance in our life. Amen.
