Dusshera


Today is a Hindu holiday called Dussehra or Dusshera.  It's a holiday that has a long history that is based on the stories from the Ramayana.  The festival basically celebrates the triumph of good over evil and the death of the demon king Ravana.  To celebrate this, they have a big festival and burn effigies of this demon king.
.
Pray for the people celebrating this holiday today that they will come to know the one who is truly good!

"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.  Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."
Isaiah 5:20-21

"See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.  Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn."
Isaiah 60:2-3
