Word of Life

Beloved Child of the Divine, As the vibrant celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi concludes and Lord Ganesh returns to his celestial abode, a time of reflection and gratitude begins in your heart. The presence of the divine, symbolized through Lord Ganesh, leaves behind a gentle imprint of blessings and wisdom. In this sacred pause, let us remember the words from Psalm 16:11 (NIV): "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." Even as the physical representation departs, the spiritual essence remains, guiding and nurturing your soul. May your heart be filled with the joy and peace that surpasses understanding. Embrace the lessons and love that Lord Ganesh’s presence has bestowed upon you, carrying them forward as a beacon of light and hope. With grace and serenity, Your Fellow Traveler in Faith

Bible Commentary

1 John 5:21 states, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen." This verse serves as a final exhortation in the epistle, urging believers to avoid idolatry. Idols can be anything that takes the place of God in one's heart. The term "little children" reflects John's affectionate and pastoral concern for his readers, emphasizing the importance of staying true to God.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for guiding me away from idols and false worship. As Ganesh Chaturthi has ended and Lord Ganesh has departed from my home, I seek Your strength to remain steadfast in my faith. Help me to focus solely on You and Your teachings. Protect my heart from any form of idolatry and lead me closer to Your truth. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
