"Trust in God's Mercy and inherit His favor"

But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. Psalm 13:5.

Today's verse emphasizes God's mercy and His salvation. Even though we deserve punishment for our sins, God withholds punishment because of His Mercy.  When we trust in His Mercy, we inherit God's favor.  When we find God's favor, we escape from the destruction caused by our sins. When we are totally freed from the burden of our sins, a great joy fills our hearts. In Psalm 31:7, King David says, “I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities.”

நான் உம்முடைய கிருபையின்மேல் நம்பிக்கை யாயிருக்கிறேன்; உம்முடைய இரட்சிப்பினால் என் இருதயம் களிகூரும். சங்கீதம் 13:5.

இன்றைய வசனம் தேவனுடைய இரக்கத்தையும் அவருடைய இரட்சிப்பையும் வலியுறுத்துகிறது. நாம் செய்த பாவங்களுக்காக நாம் தண்டனைக் குரியவர்களாக இருந்தாலும், தேவனுடைய இரக்கத்தினால் தண்டனை அனுபவியாமலிருக்கிறோம். அவருடைய இரக்கத்தில் நாம் நம்பிக்கை கொள்ளும்போது, ​​தேவனின் தயவைப் பெறுவோம். நமக்கு தேவனின் தயவு கிடைக்கும் போது, நம் பாவங்களால் ஏற்படும் அழிவிலிருந்து தப்புகிறோம். நம்முடைய பாவச் சுமைகளிலிருந்து நாம் முற்றிலும் விடுபடும்போது, ​​ஒரு பெரிய மகிழ்ச்சி நம் இதயங்களை நிரப்புகிறது.சங்கீதம்  31:7 -ல், தாவீது ராஜா கூறுகிறார், “உமது கிருபையிலே களிகூர்ந்து மகிழுவேன்; நீர் என் உபத்திரவத்தைப் பார்த்து, என் ஆத்தும வியாகுலங்களை அறிந்திருக்கிறீர்.”

"Blog Y2 066 - True friendship brings joy and renewal."

Image
Ointment and perfume delight the heart, And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by hearty counsel. Proverbs 27:9. King Solomon compares the pleasing aroma of oil and incense to the joy and refreshment that wise counsel from a trusted friend brings. We see this kind of friendship in Scripture, like David and Jonathan’s bond or Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus with fragrant oil—a loving act that filled the house with its sweet scent and brought joy to Jesus. In the same way, a true Christian friend provides gentle encouragement, wise guidance, and correction with kindness, becoming a source of joy and spiritual renewal. Let’s strive to bring this uplifting “aroma of Christ” to others, showing love, care, and even sacrifice in our friendships. Are you offering wise counsel and Christlike love to your friends? John 15:13 says: "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." பரிமளதைலமும் சுகந்ததூபமும் இருதயத்தைக் களிப்பாக்குவதுபோல, ஒருவ

"Blog Y2 047 - Righteous Efforts Lead to Life."

Image
The labor of the righteous leads to life, The wages of the wicked to sin. Proverbs 10:16. The world has both righteous and wicked men. The efforts of a righteous man lead to godliness and life, while the efforts of a wicked man lead to sin and death. Honest labor brings its own reward through the blessing of God, resulting in a long and peaceful life. The goal of a good person's work is to live honestly without resorting to sinful actions. As a result, their hard work preserves their life and helps them pursue eternal life. On the other hand, the efforts of wicked people lead them into sin. Their labor fuels their pride, luxury, and focus on worldly things, often leading to early death and, without repentance, eternal death. What kind of life are you living—righteous or wicked? Proverbs 11:30 says: "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise." நீதிமானுடைய பிரயாசம் ஜீவனையும், துன்மார்க்கனுடைய விளைவோ பாவத்தையும் பிறப்பிக்கும். நீதிமொழிகள் 1

"Blog Y2 048 - Focus on God during tough times"

Image
For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 1 Peter 2:19. Apostle Peter is saying that when we face the worst in life, like unfair criticism, that's when we need to focus on God and the grace He gave us through Jesus. In life, we often bring suffering on ourselves through our own actions. Sometimes what we call "suffering for Jesus" is really the result of our own selfishness or carelessness.  Peter reminds us that there’s no reward for suffering caused by our own mistakes. Jesus didn’t sin or deceive; He only suffered for doing what was right. We should follow His example, being righteous, thoughtful, and careful in all we do. That way, if we suffer, it will truly be for the Lord.  Do you focus on God’s grace when facing unfair criticism? 1 Peter 3:14,15 says: “ But even if you should suffer for righteousness sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. But sanctify the Lord God

"Blog Y2 052 - Living by God's Word daily"

Image
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22. Apostle James emphasizes the need to act on what we hear. He warns that we deceive ourselves if we think we can be hearers only and not doers of the Word. Those who sincerely love God are the ones who keep His commands. God desires that those who hear His Word become authentic followers of Jesus—disciples who obey the Lord’s teachings out of love for their Heavenly Father. Jesus also gave a stern warning to those who hear God's words but fail to act on them in Matthew 7:21,  "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven."  As faith without works is dead, merely hearing God's Word without putting it into practice also deadens our spiritual life. The cleansing and justifying power of God's Word is experienced only when we live according to it. Are you living as both a hearer and doer of God's Word

"Blog Y2 051 - Humbly trust God to lift you up"

Image
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10. Apostle James reminds us to humble ourselves before God's face, and He will lift us up in His time. Humbleness and humility both refer to the quality of being modest. In the Bible, humility is presented as the practice of meekness, obedience to God, self-respect, respect for others, submissiveness, and modesty. This verse is a call to action for us to humble ourselves before God and to approach Him reverently. Paul described Jesus’s life on earth in Philippians 2:8,9: He became a servant, even unto death, and the Father exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name. Most of the time, we expect to be recognized and glorified, and we feel disappointed when things don’t go our way. However, God asks us to abandon the world's way of pursuing recognition and glory. Instead, He calls us to trust Him to exalt us at the right time without seeking that glory for ourselve

"Blog Y2 061 - Finding Joy in God's Word"

Image
Blessed is the man, ……… his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. Psalm 1:1,2 This scripture says that a child of God will delight in the word of God by meditating on it day and night. The Hebrew word for “delight” means “extreme pleasure, satisfaction, or joy.” Reading, studying, and applying God’s truth is a source of joy for the righteous. To delight in God’s word means to love it deeply, to hunger and thirst for Him. We delight in His word because we know it has the power to sustain us with joy through times of despair. It brings hope, comfort, protection, and victory over sin and leads us to eternal life. Do you delight in God's word by meditating on it day and night? Joshua 1:8 says: "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.&qu

"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 அவன் ப
