"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."

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep" John 10:11. In today's verse, Jesus shows Himself as the good shepherd who gave His life on the cross to save us. In Psalm 23, David beautifully describes God as a caring shepherd, praising His love, care, comfort, provision, and protection. David also celebrates how God guides, leads, and restores us when we trust Him. God, like a good shepherd, watches over us, keeping us safe from harm, and even risking His life for us. Jesus, our shepherd, desires an intimate relationship with us, saying, "My sheep hear Me, I know them, and they follow Me." நானே நல்ல மேய்ப்பன், நல்ல மேய்ப்பன் ஆடுகளுக்காகத் தன் ஜீவனைக் கொடுக்கிறான்.  யோவான் 10:11 இன்றைய வசனத்தில், இயேசு சிலுவையில் தம் உயிரைக் கொடுத்து நம்மைக் காப்பாற்றிய நல்ல மேய்ப்பராகக் காட்டுகிறார்.  சங்கீதம் 23ல், தாவீது கடவுளை ஒரு அக்கறையுள்ள மேய்ப்பனாக அழகாக விவரிக்கிறார், அவருடைய அன்பு, கவனிப்பு, ஆறுதல், தேவைகளை சந்தித்தல் மற்றும் பாதுகாப்பு ஆகியவற்றைப...

"Blog Y2 042 - Good News Refreshes the Weary Soul"

Image
As cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a far country. Proverbs 25:25. In life’s difficult moments, we often find ourselves weary, thirsty for hope, and longing for relief. This verse highlights the importance of timely encouragement. King Solomon compares good news to a refreshing cup of cold water given to a weary soul who has been working hard, worn out, and very thirsty. In the broader context, Solomon had previously taught that a trustworthy messenger brings refreshment to his master, but in this verse, the focus moves to the importance of the message itself. What good news can you share today to lift someone's spirit and bring encouragement? The Bible says that a good report makes the bones healthy. Good news is a powerful gift. When was the last time you encouraged a distant friend? Even the smallest encouragement can be like cold water to a soul in need.  Proverbs 16:24 says: “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.”...

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable  are  His judgments and His ways past finding out! Romans 11:33. Today's verse deals with five aspects of His characteristics: His deep riches, wisdom, knowledge, unsearchable judgments, and His higher ways. We can witness His wisdom and knowledge in the way He has crafted us and our world. We can also witness His decisions and ways concerning our lives as we have traveled thus far in this life. Our God is all-powerful and performs great and unsearchable things in our lives. When we think about ourselves, our knowledge, wisdom, thinking, and planning are limited. When we place our trust in God, we submit ourselves to His immense riches, wisdom, and knowledge, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us in every decision we make. Together with David, let us praise God, saying, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable." ஆ! தேவனுடைய ஐசுவரியம், ஞானம், அறிவு என்ப...

"God desires intimate relationship with contrite."

Image
I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Isaiah 57:15. God identifies Himself as the great and exalted One who lives forever and whose name is Holy. He created time, space, matter, and human beings. He stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea. His desire is to renew a right spirit within the hearts of lost souls who are dead in sin. Instead of dwelling in heaven, a holy place, our Almighty God wants to live with us, who are meek, holy, and humble of heart. He also wants to revive those with a contrite spirit and dwell in the hearts of all who believe in His name. This revelation unveils God's heart, characterized by compassion, grace, and accessibility. God is not distant; He longs to have an intimate relationship with us, especially when we approach Him with humility and contrition. Psalm 34:18 says, "The LORD is near to those who have...

"Believers, you have overcome the world."

Image
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4. In this scripture, Apostle John refers to "little children" as young believers who are growing in the Lord every day. He encourages the believers as below: 1.   Saying, "You are of God," which means they are of His family; they have  embraced His truth, and His Spirit dwells with them. 2.   He mentions that these believers have "Overcome them," meaning they  have  taken victory over the evil one and the world. 3. He reminds us that the power of Christ, who lives in the believer, is greater  than the power of the world. The Holy Spirit living in us is far stronger than  any attack by the evil one. This scripture should empower us today not to fear the enemy but to trust the Lord and obey His commands. In this way, we can overcome the powers of darkness and walk with boldness in our life. 1 John 2:14 says, " I have writ...

Blog # Y2 011 - "Calling on God with Confidence"

Image
As for me, I will call upon God, And the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice. Psalm 55:16-17. Here, King David speaks of calling upon God's name for salvation. He mentions crying out to the Lord three times a day with a loud voice. Why would David pray this way? It’s because he understands that only God can save him from all his fears, trials, and problems. Similarly, we can call upon the Lord when we are discouraged, afraid, or worried. Jesus bore all our burdens and sins on the cross and saved us. We should also have confidence in the Lord like David, constantly reaching out to Him in prayer and with thanksgiving. He hears our voice and delivers us when we pray continually. When you are afraid, do you cry out to the Lord with confidence in prayer?   Jeremiah 33:3 says: "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." நானோ தேவனை நோக்கிக் கூப்பிடுவேன்...

Blog # 361 - "Celebrate victories through worship and praise"

Image
I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High. Psalm 7:17. This scripture says how King David gives praises to the God of righteousness and to the name of the Lord Most High. This verse encourages us to praise and worship the Lord for His righteousness and His sovereignty. David is praising God’s name as “ God Most High.” We first see "God Most High," which in Hebrew is “ El Elyon ” ; in Genesis 14:18, Melchizedek is identified as "priest of God Most High." This name occurs multiple times in the Psalms. It identifies God as the supreme, exalted sovereign in heaven. We must celebrate all the victories over our trials and tribulations through worship and praise. He is the great king over all the earth. Are you celebrating your victories through worship and praise? Psalm 145:7 says: “They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness.” நான் கர்த்தரை அவருடைய நீதியின்ப...
