Don't Ask for Help from Satan's People.



Ahaziah, a king of Israel, fell out of a window and was injured. He wanted to know if he was going to live or die. He sent messengers to the worshipers of Baal to learn the future. Baal worship was evil; the people burned their children to him.

"And Elijah said to the king, "This is what the LORD says: Why did you send messengers to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether you will recover? Is there no God in Israel to answer your question? Therefore, because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die." 2 Kings 1:16

The king did die. The Bible teaches us never to go to a seer, a witch, or a medium to find out the future.

And when they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living?  Isaiah 8:19

The future is in God's hands. It isn't good for us to wonder about the future; just live one day at a time as you follow Jesus.

Jesus said, "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.  Matthew 6:34
