Finding God Through the Stars, Stones, and Spirit

A reflection from a spiritual Christian.

I grew up loving the red words in the Bible.

Even as a child, those were the only parts I truly wanted to read — the words of Christ Himself. They felt alive. Direct. Less like instruction and more like invitation. I didn’t experience them as rules or warnings, but as something relational… like God speaking with me, not at me.

As I’ve grown older, my faith hasn’t disappeared — it’s expanded.

And that expansion has brought questions.

Questions about why studying the stars feels reverent instead of rebellious.
Why plants, stones, and symbols feel like teachers rather than temptations.
Why intuition feels less like ego and more like remembrance.

I know this makes some Christians uncomfortable. I understand why. I’ve heard the verses. I’ve read them too.

So I want to speak honestly, gently, and clearly — not to convince, but to explain from my interpretation.

When Scripture warns against divination, sorcery, or consulting mediums, the common thread isn’t curiosity — it’s control.

The danger described in the Bible is about seeking power instead of surrender,
manipulating outcomes instead of trusting God, and replacing divine relationship with idols, systems, or people who claim authority. That context matters.

The Bible repeatedly warns against putting faith in anything above God — including kings, prophets, institutions, and even Scripture itself when it’s used to dominate instead of liberate.

At the same time, Scripture also tells us something profound:

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” — Psalm 19:1

Creation speaks. Not as a god — but as a testimony.

I don’t worship stars.
I don’t pray to crystals.
I don’t believe tarot cards control my fate.

I believe God is the intelligence behind all of it.

The stars move with mathematical precision.
Plants heal the body in ways science is still catching up to.
Stones hold memory, pressure, time — the slow handwriting of the Earth.

To ignore these things feels less holy to me than to listen to them.

Studying creation isn’t idolatry when the reverence flows through it, not to it.

As Paul wrote:

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities… have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.” — Romans 1:20

For me, studying nature is studying God’s handwriting.
