Wishing upon stars is as senseless as knocking on wood.  God alone hears and answers prayers;  God, with great disdain notes wishing upon stars. He created the stars to serve as lights in the heavens above, not to grant wishes to those living below. One particular star had the role of ancient GPS,  God’s Providential Sensor.  It detected the exact birthplace of the King of the Jews.

Wise men did not waste time or energy in wishing upon the star. They followed the light of the star, enabling them to worship Jesus, descendant of King David.  “I,  Jesus, have sent My angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright Morning Star (Revelation 22:16 HCS).”
