Father dear,
What would you do, if you see your children believing in fortune telling? You must be very disappointed, am I right?
I remember the Old Testament, when your people made calf and idols out of gold, your anger was so great! Fortune-telling and idol-worship... I believe they are the same -- believing in fortune-telling would simply mean that we lose hope in you, and we no longer need your divine providence.
I was listening to a Catholic talking about how accurate this fortune teller can tell about the future and about someone's fate. Lord, you know how uncomfortable I was... a question popped up in my heart: "How can someone who declares himself/herself as a Child of the Lord believe and even promote fortune telling? Isn't he/she showing that you, the Almighty God, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, is unable to take care of whatever that is to come in the future?"
Why would people go for fortune-telling, when the real fun and excitement of life comes from the mysterious and unknown future, and the hope of a great encounter and adventure that one will be going through with the King of Kings?
Perhaps, they desperately need an answer? And yet you didn't give them... yet? Whatever it is, my Lord, I pray that your people would realise that you are the only Person whom we can hang on to, both in joyful times and times of unmeasurable difficulties and pain.
I love you, Daddy!
