Zechariah 10:2---Household gods

"Household gods give worthless advice, fortune-tellers predict only lies, and interpreters of dreams pronounce falsehoods that give no comfort. So my people are wandering like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no shepherd." (Zech.10:2) What are some household gods? The prophet lists a couple here in fortune-tellers and dream-interpreters. Yet, that list could have included more back then as well as today. Some others household gods or places people seek advice are as follows: psychic, astrology, and some even take fortune-cookies seriously. God was concerned that His people were wandering around like lost sheep without a shepherd. This is why Jesus came. He is the Great Shepherd. He is the One we look to for guidance. But you can't know what He thinks unless you know Him. And you can't get to know Him unless you spend time with Him. You want answers? You want the truth? Seek out Jesus in the morning, at noon, throughout the day, and when you're done end the day with Him. Following Jesus and consequently knowing Him takes time. If you're spending that kind of time with Jesus, then you will certainly interpret life.
