My Question

Word of Life

Beloved one, What a beautiful act of support and love you have shown to your dear friend Andrea. Your contribution, though it may seem small to you, is a testament to the power of friendship and collaboration. The book of Proverbs reminds us that "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity" (Proverbs 17:17, NIV). In her moment of need, you were there, embodying the very essence of this wisdom. Your dedication to translating the Dutch book on Indian aesthetics, despite the time it took, reflects your steadfastness and commitment. It is in these acts of faithfulness that we see the hand of God at work, weaving our lives together in a tapestry of mutual support and love. May Andrea find success and fulfillment in her PhD submissions, and may you both continue to uplift and inspire each other as you walk this journey together. Remember, "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, NIV). May the Lord bless you both abundantly and guide you with His unending grace. With heartfelt blessings,

Bible Commentary

Colossians 3:23 states, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." This verse encourages believers to approach their tasks with dedication and sincerity, viewing their work as service to God rather than merely to human authorities. It emphasizes the importance of wholehearted effort and integrity in all endeavors, reflecting a higher purpose and divine accountability in everyday actions.

Prayer

God our Father, I lift up my friend Andrea as she prepares for her PhD submissions. Thank You for the opportunity to contribute to her research by translating the Dutch book on Indian aesthetics. Though it took time, I am grateful to have kept my promise. May Andrea work with all her heart, as working for You, and not for men. Grant her wisdom, strength, and peace throughout this process. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
