Does candle gazing and star gazing condemned in the Bible?

A person looking at a candle and stars with a Bible open nearby, symbolizing the question of whether candle gazing and star gazing are condemned in the Bible.

Answer from our relationship expert:

The Bible doesn't specifically mention or condemn candle gazing or star gazing. However, interpretations can vary depending on the context and intention behind these practices. Star gazing, when done to appreciate the beauty of creation, is not condemned and is even encouraged in some biblical passages (e.g., Psalm 19:1). However, using stars for divination or astrology is discouraged in several biblical passages. Candle gazing isn't explicitly mentioned, but some might interpret it as a form of meditation or contemplation, which isn't inherently against biblical teachings. The key factor is often the intention behind the practice and whether it aligns with or contradicts core biblical principles.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." - Psalm 19:1

Guidance & steps forward:

If you're concerned about whether these practices align with your faith, consider discussing it with a religious leader or spiritual advisor who can provide guidance based on your specific beliefs and denomination. Reflect on your intentions behind these practices - are they for relaxation, appreciation of nature, or spiritual purposes? If you're using these practices for meditation or reflection, consider incorporating prayer or biblical verses into your routine to align it more closely with your faith. Remember that interpretations of religious texts can vary, and what's important is your personal relationship with your faith.
