"Five 'I's for Each of Us"

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10

In this world, we fear everything happening around us. Today's verse is a great promise of comfort with five 'I's for each of us: 'I' am with you; 'I' am your God; 'I' will strengthen you; 'I' will help you; and 'I' will uphold you. What a great, loving, and caring God we have. God is bigger than all our problems. He wants us to trust Him, knowing that He is enough, no matter what. He is there for us in our difficult times to strengthen us. In Psalm 46:1, King David says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." 

நீ பயப்படாதே, நான் உன்னுடனே இருக்கிறேன்; திகையாதே, நான் உன் தேவன்; நான் உன்னைப் பலப்படுத்தி உனக்குச் சகாயம்பண்ணுவேன்; என் நீதியின் வலதுகரத்தினால் உன்னைத் தாங்குவேன். ஏசாயா 41: 10

இந்த உலகில், நம்மைச் சுற்றி நடக்கும் எல்லாவற்றுக்கும் நாம் பயப்படுகிறோம்.  இன்றைய வசனம் நம் ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் ஐந்து 'நான்' என்ற ஆறுதலின் சிறந்த வாக்குறுதியைக் கொடுக்கிறது : 'நான்' உன்னுடன் இருக்கிறேன்;  'நான்' உன் தேவன்;  'நான்' உன்னைப் பலப்படுத்துவேன்;  'நான்' உனக்கு உதவுகிறேன்;  'நான்' உன்னை ஆதரிப்பேன்.  எவ்வளவு பெரிய, அன்பான, அக்கரையுள்ள தேவன் நம்மிடம் இருக்கிறார்.  தேவன் நம் எல்லா பிரச்சனைகளையும் விட பெரியவர்.  எதுவாக இருந்தாலும் அவர் போதுமானவர் என்பதை அறிந்து நாம் அவரை நம்ப வேண்டும் என்று அவர் விரும்புகிறார்.  பலவீனமான காலங்களில் நம்மைப் பலப்படுத்த அவர் இருக்கிறார்.  சங்கீதம் 46:1-ல், தாவீது ராஜா கூறுகிறார், "தேவன் நமக்கு அடைக்கலமும் பெலனும், ஆபத்துக்காலத்தில் அநுகூலமான துணையுமானவர்."

"Blog Y2 092 - Live Wisely, Reap Blessings"

Image
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. This echoes the broader biblical concept of obedience leading to blessings and disobedience leading to curses. 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? Matthew 7:24 says: "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock." பிள்ளைகளே, எனக்குச் செவிகொடுங்கள்; என் வழிக...

Blog # Y2 009 - "Jesus Christ, the light brings healing and joy"

Image
Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people and heals the stroke of their wound. Isaiah 30:26. This verse highlights the compassionate nature of God, who, despite our failures and defiance, remains ever-ready to heal and restore. God promises to bless nature with abundance. The sun's brightness will increase sevenfold like the light of seven days. Light, as opposed to darkness, is part of God's blessing. This light, symbolizing knowledge, shall increase. It is the light that came down to earth from heaven, the light that the gospel brought into the world, proclaiming healing to the broken-hearted. When we call on His name, He heals our wounds and sets us free from all grievances and afflictions. One day, Jesus Christ, this light will return and take us to be with Him. Then there will be no more sorrow and no more pain, for His co...

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34. Today's verse reminds us that God is sovereign and in control of our lives, and we can trust in His provision and care for us. 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...

“The smallest one will become a thousand, And the least one a mighty nation. I, the LORD, will bring it about quickly in its time.” Isaiah 60:22 Today's verse was spoken by the prophet Isaiah for the people of Israel as a blessing, expressing how the numbers will multiply and the weak nation will become strong in His time. Similarly, God has promised us blessings and multiplication in every area of our lives, but we need to wait for His timing. In the beginning, God created mankind in His own image and said, "And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it." If we have faith in God and wait patiently, He will do everything beautifully in its time. சின்னவன் ஆயிரமும், சிறியவன் பலத்த ஜாதியுமாவான்; கர்த்தராகிய நான் ஏற்றகாலத்தில் இதைத் தீவிரமாய் நடப்பிப்பேன்.  ஏசாயா 60:22 இன்றைய வசனம் ஏசாயா தீர்க்கதரிசியால் இஸ்ரவேல் மக்களுக்கு ஆசீர்வாதமாகப் பேசப்பட்டது, அவருடைய காலத்தில் எண்கள் எவ்வாறு பெருகும் மற்றும் பலவீனமான தேசம் பலமாக மாறு...

"Blog Y2 098 - Embrace Wisdom, Escape Destruction"

Image
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...

"God created us in a unique way"

Image
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Jeremiah 1:5 We need to thank the Lord for knowing us before we were formed in our mother's womb. How precious we are and how beautifully He created each one of us in a unique way. The word of God says that our frames are not hidden from Him when we were made in secret, and His eyes saw our unformed bodies. He has a great plan for each one of us. We need to seek God's guidance to find that plan and purpose in our lives. God expects us to proclaim His greatness along with David, "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well." நான் உன்னைத் தாயின் வயிற்றில் உருவாக்கு முன்னே உன்னை அறிந்தேன். எரேமியா 1:5 தாயின் வயிற்றில் உருவாவதற்கு முன்பே நம்மை அறிந்த கர்த்தருக்கு நாம் நன்றி சொல்ல வேண்டும்.  நாம் எவ்வளவு விலைமதிப்பற்றவர்கள், எவ்வளவு அழகாக நம் ஒவ்வொருவரையும் தனித்தன்மையுடன், அவர் படைத்திருக்கிறார். நாம் ஒளிப்பிடத்திலே உண்டாக்கப்பட்டு, பூமியின் தாழ்விடங்களில...

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 ...
