"Give thanks to the Lord"

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalms 136:1

Our God is great and mighty. Let us give thanks to the Lord, for He is so good. His mercy endures forever. He is worthy of all our praises. With all our heart, soul, and mind, let us praise and worship the Lord, lifting His name high. He gave His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins, and we should never cease to give thanks. Like King David, let us declare, "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

கர்த்தரைத் துதியுங்கள், அவர் நல்லவர், அவர் கிருபை என்றுமுள்ளது. சங்கீதம் 136:1

நம்முடைய தேவன் பெரியவர், வல்லமையுமுள்ளவர்.  கர்த்தர் மிகவும் நல்லவர், எனவே அவருக்கு நன்றி செலுத்துவோம்.  அவருடைய இரக்கம் என்றென்றும் நிலைத்திருக்கும்.  நம் எல்லாப் புகழுக்கும் உரியவர். நாம் முழு இருதயத்தோடும், ஆத்மாவோடும், மனதோடும், கர்த்தருடைய நாமத்தை உயர்த்தி, அவரைப் போற்றி வணங்குவோம்.  அவர் நம்முடைய பாவங்களுக்காக, தன்னுடைய ஒரே பேறான குமாரனாகிய இயேசுக்கிறிஸ்துவை சிலுவை மரணத்திற்கு ஒப்புக்கொடுத்தார், நாம் ஒருபோதும் நன்றி செலுத்துவதை நிறுத்தக்கூடாது.  தாவீது ராஜாவைப்போல நாமும் அறிவிப்போம், "கர்த்தரை நான் எக்காலத்திலும் ஸ்தோத்திரிப்பேன், அவர் துதி எப்போதும் என் வாயிலிருக்கும்."

"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,...
