Jeeva, Joy and Deva - Verse of the Day - English and Tamil

God will render…. eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality. Romans 2:6,7. In this scripture, Apostle Paul addresses the concept of judgment and how people will be judged by God. He emphasizes that God's judgment is fair and will be based on our actions and beliefs. However, the Bible teaches that no one can perfectly do good or achieve salvation by their works alone, because all have sinned (Romans 3:23). Eternal life is ultimately a gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ, not earned by good deeds (Ephesians 2:8-9). Good works are important as evidence of a genuine faith and relationship with God, but they are not the basis for salvation. A perfectly righteous life would theoretically earn eternal life, but since no one can achieve that standard apart from Jesus, salvation comes through grace, not human effort. James 1:12 says: "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved,...

  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11. Today’s verse highlights the idea of an "expected end"—a future filled with hope. It serves as a verse of comfort and encouragement for those facing adversity. It reminds believers that God is always at work, even in difficult situations, and that His plans for His people are good. This is a source of hope and assurance for those who trust in the Lord and His promises. The verse symbolizes God’s faithfulness and care for His people. The fact that God’s thoughts are of peace reflects His love and personal concern for us, conveying a sense of intimacy and care from the Lord. The Apostle Paul prays for the people in Romans 15:13, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Also, Proverbs 3:6 says, "In all your ways acknowledge Him,...

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15. Each day, we must allow God’s peace to rule in our hearts. God promises us His peace, and as we focus on Him and not on ourselves, His peace becomes a constant reality. This peace is something all believers are called to experience, both individually and together, as the body of Christ. However, this peace can be blocked when our hearts are not thankful or filled with praise. A heart full of gratitude and praise prepares us to receive Christ’s peace and share it with others. The verse also reminds us of the need for unity in the body of Christ, where believers are called to work together in love and harmony. Philippians 4:7 says: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Reflection: Am I allowing God’s peace to truly rule in my heart each day? Am I fostering gratitude and unity with others as...

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 13:14. This verse teaches us the value of wisdom and its life-giving power. Wisdom refreshes and sustains us like a fountain of life. On the other hand, ignoring wisdom leads to danger and destruction, symbolized as "snares of death." Just as snares trap animals, rejecting wise guidance can trap us in harmful situations.   (The Bible teaches, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom - Proverbs 9:10).   Reflection today: Are there areas in your life where you're not following wisdom? How can you choose wisdom to avoid harm and find life? Proverbs 15:24 says: “The way of life winds upward for the wise, That he may turn away from hell below.” ஞானவான்களுடைய போதகம் ஜீவஊற்று; அதினால் மரணக்கண்ணிகளுக்குத் தப்பலாம். நீதிமொழிகள் 13:14. இந்த வசனம் ஞானத்தின் மதிப்பையும் அதன் ஜீவ சக்தியையும் நமக்குக் கற்பிக்கிறது. ஜீவ ஊற்றைப் போல ஞானம் நமக்குப் புத்துணர்ச்சியையும் பலனையும் தருகிற...

In whom(Christ) are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:3. The Apostle Paul reminds the believers in Colossae that their ultimate source of wisdom and knowledge is found in Christ alone and urges them not to be led astray by false teachings or human reasoning. The " treasures of wisdom and knowledge " hidden in Christ symbolize the divine revelation and insight that come from a relationship with Him. Paul describes this wisdom as secret and beyond human understanding, highlighting that it surpasses anything we can grasp apart from God. This serves as a reminder that our faith is not grounded in human wisdom or reasoning, but in the wisdom and knowledge that come through a relationship with Christ. Is your wisdom rooted in Christ, or is it influenced by human reasoning and worldly teachings? 1 Corinthians 1:30 says: " But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption....

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. Psalm 50:2. In this scripture, we find a powerful declaration of God's sovereignty and presence. Here, Zion symbolizes the place of God's dwelling and His glory. It is not only a physical location (Mount Zion in Jerusalem) but also a representation of God's reign, beauty, and His relationship with His people. This setting highlights both God's majesty and His intimate relationship with His people. In the Hebrew Scriptures, beauty is often associated with holiness and purity, used to describe God's righteousness and splendor. God is reminding us of the importance of worship and obedience before Him. When we worship Him with holiness and purity, His divine radiance and glory will shine upon us. As Isaiah 60:1 declares: "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you." பூரணவடிவுள்ள சீயோனிலிருந்து தேவன் பிரகாசிக்கிறார். சங்கீதம் 50:2. இந்த வேதப்பகுதியில், தேவனின் ...

I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4. Psalm 34 is a psalm of David, written during a time when he was fleeing from King Saul and seeking refuge from danger. Throughout the psalm, David praises God for delivering him from his enemies and for His faithfulness in protecting those who seek Him. David reflects on his own experience of seeking the Lord in times of trouble and finding deliverance from his fears. This verse is a testament to the power of faith and the trust David had in God's ability to comfort and protect him in times of distress. It serves as a reminder that when we earnestly seek the Lord, He hears our prayers and provides for our needs. Do you seek the Lord in your difficult situation? Jeremiah 29:13 says: "And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." நான் கர்த்தரைத் தேடினேன், அவர் எனக்குச் செவிகொடுத்து, என்னுடைய எல்லாப் பயத்துக்கும் என்னை நீங்கலாக்கிவிட்டார். சங்கீதம் 34:4. சங...

It is part of a passage where Jesus Christ teaches His disciples about the importance of focusing on God's kingdom and not being anxious about earthly concerns. The passage addresses the issue of worry and anxiety, which is a common struggle for many people. Jesus encourages His followers to stop worrying about the future. He advises them to live in the present moment and trust that God will provide for their needs. The phrase "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow” is a reminder to surrender our worries and concerns to God and focus on living a life of faith and obedience in the present. Jesus emphasizes that worrying about the future is fruitless, as it does not add anything to our lives. Are you trusting God to take...

Listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways. Proverbs 8:32. Today’s verse conveys a message of the value of wisdom and blessings that come from living in accordance with its teachings. This implies that there is a positive outcome or reward for those who not only listen to wisdom’s teachings but also act upon them. It is a call to humility, openness, and obedience. The idea of “keeping” wisdom’s ways suggests a life of obedience and adherence to the principles and values that wisdom represents.

Do you strive to not only listen to wisdom’s teachings but also act upon them, embracing a life of humility, obedience, and integrity as described in today’s verse?

The phrase "I will wait for the God of my salvation" shows the prophet’s patience and trust in God’s perfect timing. It reminds us that God is faithful to keep His promises and will bring deliverance at the right time. Waiting on God is not about doing nothing; it is about staying firm in faith even when things don’t seem to change. This verse encourages us to have unshakable faith, trusting God no matter the circumstances. Do you trust God's timing and remain patient in difficult situations? Psalm 27:14 says: “Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall streng...

The act of "treading down" symbolizes overcoming and subduing the enemy, demonstrating God's authority and control over every situation. It shows God as a mighty warrior who fights on behalf of His people, ensuring their triumph over adversity. When we rely on our own strength, we often face failure. However, when we depend on God, seek Him and do what is pleasing to Him, we will achieve true victory.

The Light represents the presence and power of God, guiding people out of darkness and into the knowledge of His truth. It symbolizes hope, transformation, and spiritual awakening. The universal nature of this Light reflects God’s desire to reach all people and bring them into a relationship with Him. Confessing sins restores our fellowship with God, bringing forgiveness and cleansing.

Apostle Paul encourages the believers in Philippi to imitate the humility of Christ and live in harmony with one another. His command is clear and applies to all believers, regardless of maturity or authority. We are called to treat others with humility and selflessness.

This reflects the call to fulfill the Great Commission by demonstrating Christ’s love to all. Are you ready to demonstrate Christ’s humility and love by serving others selflessly, starting within your community and extending to all, as a reflection of His command to love y...

A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1. King Solomon gives wise advice on handling anger. A gentle answer can calm a tense situation, while harsh words only make things worse. The word "wrath" here refers to intense anger that can lead to conflict. When we’re insulted or upset, it’s easy to respond with more anger, but this only fuels the fire. Instead, responding calmly and kindly can help defuse the situation. A gentle response shows wisdom, self-control, and care for the other person, reducing tension and preventing further conflict. When faced with anger or insult, how can you respond with gentleness and wisdom to show love and defuse the situation instead of fueling conflict? Romans 12:21 says, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." மெதுவான பிரதியுத்தரம் உக்கிரத்தை மாற்றும்; கடுஞ்சொற்களோ கோபத்தை எழுப்பும். நீதிமொழிகள் 15:1. சாலோமோன் ராஜா கோபத்தை எப்படி கையாள்வது என்பதைப் பற்றிய புத்திசாலித்தனமான ஆலோசன...

The angel Gabriel greets Mary with the words "Do not be afraid," a phrase often used by angels in the Bible to offer reassurance and prepare people for important messages. Mary's favor with God reflects His grace, while her humble submission demonstrates faith and obedience. God is reminding us today not to be afraid of anything. When we submit ourselves to Him, we, too, find favor with God, just as Mary did. How willing are you to humbly submit and obey God's plan for your life, even when it seems challenging or uncertain?

It also emphasizes the significance of praising God through songs and music to honor and glorify His name. Are you expressing gratitude and praising God daily for His goodness and faithfulness? 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says: “In everything give thanks; for this is ...

A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor. Proverbs 29:23. Today's verse highlights that pride leads to destruction, while humility brings honor. King Solomon speaks about the destructive nature of pride in personal relationships and the importance of humility in our interactions with others. Pride led to Satan's fall from heaven and is the root of many sins. Pride comes from selfishness and shows itself in envy, greed, anger, rebellion, and stubbornness. Humility, on the other hand, is a gentle spirit that puts others first. By rejecting pride, seeking Christ with gratitude, and growing in humility, we reflect Jesus’ character. How are you embracing humility and rejecting pride in your daily life? James 4:10 says: "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." மனுஷனுடைய அகந்தை அவனைத் தாழ்த்தும்; மனத்தாழ்மையுள்ளவனோ கனமடைவான். நீதிமொழிகள் 29:23. பெருமை அழிவுக்கு வழிவகுக்கிறது, அதே நேரத்தில் மனத்தாழ்மை கனத்தைக...
