There is a God in heaven
who reveals secrets.

Genesis 1 16For God made two great
lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. The greater one, the sun, presides during the day; the lesser
one, the moon, presides through the night. He also
made the stars. Daniel
2 28But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in
the future. Now I will tell you your dream and the visions you saw as you lay on your bed. A glance at the daily newspaper
tells us that modern life is still infected by the ancient practice of astrology. Guests on talk shows discuss their astrological
signs with the same ease that they discuss their divorces. Late-night television offers the services of stargazers by telephone
at four dollars a minute. The wife of a recent president of the United States consulted an astrologer for advice on the travel
schedule for her husband. As a young man, Augustine (354-430) consulted astrologers. In later years, however, he opposed
the practice. Because astrology assumes that the position of the stars at the time of our birth determines personality and
the course of our life, Augustine asked, "Why, in the life of twins--in their actions, the events that befall them, their
professions, arts, honors, and other things pertaining to human life, as well as in their very deaths--is there often so great
a difference that, as far as these things are concerned, many entire strangers are more like them than they are like each
other?" Our lives aren't shaped by lifeless stars, but by the God who created the stars and us as well. He has revealed
to us in the Bible our destiny in Jesus Christ. --Haddon W. Robinson I will not seek to know the future years, Nor cloud today with dark tomorrow's fears; I will but ask clear light from heaven to show How step by step my pilgrimage should go. --Anon. Psalms:8:1 O
LORD, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. 2 You
have taught children and nursing infants to give you praise. They silence your enemies who were seeking revenge. 3 When
I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers--the moon and the stars
You have set in place-- 4 what are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care
for us? 5 For you made us only a little lower than God, and you crowned us with glory and
honor. 6You put us in charge of everything you made, giving us authority over all things-- 7 the sheep
and the cattle and all the wild animals, 8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims
the ocean currents. 9 O LORD, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth! Amos 5 8It is the
LORD who created the stars, the Pleiades and Orion. It is he who turns darkness into morning and day into night.
It is he who draws up water from the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The LORD is his name!
Job 11 7"Can you solve the mysteries of God? Can you discover everything there is to know about the Almighty?
