If you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. Isaiah 58:10

Today's verse says that if we give ourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then our dark night of sorrow and distress becomes a clear day of peace and comfort. In this context, God expects us to help the poor and those who are in poverty, trouble, sickness, and bondage. We can help them by giving, praying, and encouraging them through the love of Christ. If we do so, our God will reward us in this world and in eternity. Let us trust what David's says and extend our hands to those who are in need for better days ahead, "Blessed is he who considers the poor; the LORD will deliver him in times of trouble."

பசியுள்ளவனிடத்தில் உன் ஆத்துமாவைச் சாய்த்து, சிறுமைப்பட்ட ஆத்துமாவைத் திருப்தியாக்கினால், அப்பொழுது இருளில் உன் வெளிச்சம் உதித்து, உன் அந்தகாரம் மத்தியானத்தைப்போலாகும். ஏசாயா 58:10

பசித்தவர்களின் சார்பாக நம்மையே கொடுத்து, ஒடுக்கப்பட்டவர்களின் தேவைகளைப் பூர்த்தி செய்தால், துக்கமும் துயரமும் நிறைந்த நமது இருண்ட இரவு அமைதி மற்றும் ஆறுதலின் தெளிவான நாளாக மாறும் என்று இன்றைய வசனம் கூறுகிறது. ஏழைகளுக்கும், வறுமை, பிரச்சனை, நோய், அடிமைத்தனம் போன்றவற்றில் இருப்பவர்களுக்கும் நாம் உதவ வேண்டும் என்று கடவுள் எதிர்பார்க்கிறார்.  கிறிஸ்துவின் அன்பின் மூலம் அவர்களுக்கு நாம் கொடுத்து, ஜெபித்து, ஊக்குவிப்பதன் மூலம் அவர்களுக்கு உதவ முடியும்.  அப்படிச் செய்தால், நம் தேவன் இந்த உலகத்திலும் நித்தியத்திலும் நமக்கு வெகுமதி அளிப்பார்.  தாவீது சொல்வதை நம்பி, வரவிருக்கும் நல்ல நாட்கள் தேவைப்படுபவர்களுக்கு நம் கைகளை நீட்டுவோம், "சிறுமைப்பட்டவன்மேல் சிந்தையுள்ளவன் பாக்கியவான், தீங்குநாளில் கர்த்தர் அவனை விடுவிப்பார்."

"Blog Y2 094 - Live by the Golden Rule"

Image
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12. This verse, is known as the "Golden Rule," contains the teachings of Jesus Christ in a simple yet profound manner. This verse is certainly a guiding principle for Christians, and should influence our attitudes and motives as well as our seen and unseen actions. It should be a life-principle that impacts every area of life and should be exercised on all with whom we come in contact. Jesus also emphasizes that this rule reflects the teachings of the entire Old Testament, showing its foundational role in God's law. This verse contains the core Christian values like love, compassion, and justice, offering a simple yet powerful guide. Do you allow the "Golden Rule" to guide your actions and shape your attitudes towards others, reflecting love, compassion, and justice in every area of your life? 1 John 4:11 says: "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ...

"Blog Y2 450 - Fear God, Find Life"

  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 14:27. This verse highlights the importance of fearing the Lord, showing that reverence for God brings life, protection, and wisdom. It reminds us that honoring God leads to a purposeful, fulfilling life, keeping us safe from spiritual destruction. The "fear of the Lord" is like a life-giving fountain, providing spiritual nourishment, joy, and purpose. It helps believers grow in their relationship with God, bringing wisdom and understanding. As Proverbs 1:7 says, it is the beginning of true knowledge. The fear of the Lord also protects us from the dangers of sin and death. It keeps us from falling into traps that lead us away from God, guiding us away from temptation and harmful choices. Psalm 19:9 says: "The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." Reflection: Am I living with a genuine fear of the Lor...

"Blog Y2 099 - Gratitude Unlocks God’s Peace"

Image
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...

"Blog Y2 095 - Seek God, Find Deliverance"

Image
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...

"Blog Y2 100 - Hope in God’s Faithful Plans"

Image
  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,...

"Blog Y2 097 - "Christ: Our Source of Wisdom"

Image
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....

"Blog Y2 449 - Salvation: Grace, Not Works"

Image
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,...
