DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- LED ASTRAY

 LED ASTRAY
Hosea 4:12
 
"My people ask counsel from their wooden idols, and their staff [margin: diving rod] informs them. For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray, and they have played the harlot against their God."
 
God is not against asking counsel. His word says, "in the multitude of counselors there is safety" (Proverbs 11:14). The problem is not in seeking advice or counsel, but looking for it in the wrong places. Israel was consulting idols (who were mute) and the diving rod (which was demon-inspired, like an ouija board). They were drawn away by the spirit of harlotry which was intercourse with the spirit of this world, and it caused them to stray from God. When I need advice, I need to be sure it is informed by God's word and godly principles or I will be led astray.
 
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: God has the answers to my problems – not the spirit of this age.

Have a "good counsel" day. Love you.
