"Keep me as the apple of Your eye"

 

He who touches you touches the apple of His eye. Zechariah 2:8

This is a powerful promise of God for our protection. He protects us as the apple of His eye if we fear Him. The phrase 'the apple of one’s eye' describes someone or something cherished, as precious and delicate as the pupil of the eye. God cares for us when we faithfully follow His Words and commandments. He is our shelter, fortress, shield, and refuge in times of trouble. Let us join King David in thanking God for His protection: "Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings."

உங்களைத் தொடுகிறவன் அவருடைய கண்மணியைத் தொடுகிறான். சகரியா 2:8

இது நமது பாதுகாப்பிற்காக கடவுள் கொடுத்த வலிமையான வாக்குறுதியாகும்.  நாம் அவருக்குப் பயந்து நடக்கும் போது, அவர் கண்ணின் மணியாக நம்மைக் காக்கிறார்.  'ஒருவரின் கண்மணி' என்ற சொற்றொடர், கண்ணின் கண்மணியைப் போல விலைமதிப்பற்ற மற்றும் மென்மையான ஒருவரையோ,  அல்லது நேசத்துக்குரிய ஒன்றையோ  விவரிக்கிறது.  நாம் அவருடைய வார்த்தைகளையும் கட்டளைகளையும் உண்மையுடன் பின்பற்றும்போது கடவுள் நம்மைக் கவனித்துக்கொள்கிறார்.  அவரே நமக்கு அடைக்கலம், கோட்டை, கேடயம், துன்ப காலங்களில் புகலிடம். தாவீது ராஜா கடவுளின் பாதுகாப்பிற்கு நன்றி தெரிவிப்பதில் நாமும் சேர்ந்துகொள்வோம்: "கண்மணியைப்போல என்னைக் காத்தருளும். உம்முடைய செட்டைகளின் நிழலிலே என்னைக் காப்பாற்றும்."

The LORD  is  near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18 In everyday life, we experience the pain of brokenness and are full of regret. In today's verse, we understand that God is near to those with the heart filled with hurt, grief, guilt, shame, and He saves the crushed spirit. But the Bible says that only God can heal the broken hearts and bind up their wounds. Jesus is the great example for us; He went through the pain in the garden of Gethsemane and shed every drop of blood on the cross to save our lives from the pain of brokenness. He can understand whatever we go through. If we humble ourselves and repent to Him with a broken heart, He will heal our brokenness and fill us with the joy of salvation. As the prophet Jeremiah prayed, let us pray, "Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." நொறுங்குண்ட இருதயமுள்ளவர்களுக்குக் கர்த்தர் சமீபமாயிருந்து, நருங்குண்ட ஆவியுள...

"Blog Y2 014 - God Answers Our Prayers Before We Ask"

Image
That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:24. The answer to our prayers is prepared before we pray. He is more ready to hear than we are to pray! While we are praying to Him, He hears, answers, and grants our requests, and more, just as He did for Daniel. Gabriel, an angel from God, brought God’s answer to Daniel. At the moment Daniel began praying, God sent this messenger to speak to him (Daniel 9:20-23). This shows the Lord’s readiness to help and assist us in times of trouble or fear and is a great encouragement to approach the throne of grace constantly. He has made large and firm promises of answer when we pray. Yet, sometimes, His answer is a refusal; other times, it is a delay, and at other times, it is the gift of something we did not even ask for. Are you confident that God hears and answers your prayers, even before you pray, just as He did for Daniel?  Psalm 91:15 says: "He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;...

"Let us claim the Promises of God"

Image
“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”   and so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:14 Today's verse is a promise of God to His people who follow Him faithfully. God promised Abraham that all the families of the earth would be blessed in him. Later, God reaffirmed his promise, telling Abraham his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore and his descendants will possess the gates of their enemies. Today the same God wants to bless us when we obey His voice as Abraham did. As we obey the voice of the Lord, we should claim the promise, "And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God." நிச்சயமாக நான் உன்னை ஆசீர்வதிக்கவே ஆசீர்வதித்து, உன்னைப் பெருகவே பெருகப்பண்ணுவேன் என்றார். எபிரேயர் 6:14 இன்றைய வசனம், தம்மை உண்மையாகப் பின்பற்றும் தம்முடைய மக்களுக்குக் தேவன் அளித்த வாக்குறுதியாகும்.  ஆபிரகாமினிமித்தம் பூம...

"Blog Y2 062 - Align your life with God's will."

Image
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. Proverbs 21:2. When God created mankind, He gave us something very unique: free wil l . This allowed us to make our own choices according to our will. It was through this free will that humanity first sinned against God in the Garden of Eden. Today, we often rely on our own judgment, thinking our way is right. Yet, the Bible reminds us that when we act according to our own understanding, we may not realize if we are doing right or wrong. Only God truly examines our hearts and knows the innermost details of our thoughts—whether they are good or evil. When we align our actions with God’s Word and listen to His voice, we walk in His ways and receive His blessings.  Therefore, we should ask God to search our hearts, purify our motives, and guide us. Are you living a life aligned with God’s ways? Proverbs 3:7 says: “Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.” மனுஷனுடைய வழியெல்லாம் அவ...

Oh, taste and see that the  Lord   is  good;  Blessed  is  the man  who  trusts in Him! Psalm 34:8 In this verse David shares his personal experience of how he tasted and saw the goodness of God in his life. He also says how he is blessed when he puts his trusts in the Lord. The phrase taste and see, simply means "try and experience." As David tasted the love of God, we all should try and experience it personally to know how good He is. Additionally, we can focus on God's goodness by focusing on His word. When we trust Him and walk in His word, we will receive His blessings in all the areas of our lives. Let us repeat the words of David, "For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness." கர்த்தர் நல்லவர் என்பதை ருசித்துப்பாருங்கள், அவர்மேல் நம்பிக்கையாயிருக்கிற மனுஷன் பாக்கியவான். சங்கீதம் 34:8 இந்த வசனத்தில் தாவீது தனது வாழ்க்கையில் கடவுளின் நற்குணத்தை எப்படி சுவைத்தார் மற்றும் பார்த்தார் என்பதை தனது தனிப்பட்ட அனுபவத்த...

"Blog Y2 016 - Wise Counsel Leads to Success"

Image
Plans are established by counsel; By wise counsel wage war. Proverbs 20:18. Today's verse says that plans are established by seeking advice. Good advice is essential for sound decision-making, and it should come from wise counselors. Without counsel, plans fail, but with many advisers, we will succeed. The Bible mentions kings who, by listening to wise people like Joseph and Daniel, were able to save their nations. God has given us the ability to learn and grow from one another. We gain wisdom by listening to others.  Seeking advice requires humility—it means admitting that we do not know everything and that others may have valuable insights. When seeking advice, it is important to seek godly counsel  that aligns with God's Word and His will. This will help us make wise decisions. Are you seeking godly counsel and wise advice before making important decisions? Proverbs 24:6 says: "For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And in a multitude of counselors there is s...

“Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well. Matthew 9:22 The story behind this verse is a miracle that happened when a woman  who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years; who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any.  She came up behind Jesus and touched the hem of His garment, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped.  But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour. We learned from this real event that faith is believing on things what we do not see. God can do a miracle in our lives too when we trust on Him. As Paul says, "walk by faith not by sight." மகளே, திடன்கொள், உன் விசுவாசம் உன்னை இரட்சித்தது என்றார். அந்நேரம் முதல் அந்த ஸ்திரீ சொஸ்தமானாள்.  மத்தேயு 9:22 பன்னிரண்டு வருடங்களாக ரத்தப்போக்கு நோயால் அவதிப்பட்ட ஒரு பெண்மணிக்கு நடந்த அதிசயம்தான் இந்த வசனத்தின் பின்னணி...
