Blog # 342 - "Trust in God's help and protection"

You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield. Psalm 115:11.

This verse encourages those who fear the Lord to trust in Him, as He is their help and shield. We know that the fear of God is not about being afraid of Him; it is about giving Him reverence, honor, and priority in every area of our lives. The image of God as a 'help' and a 'shield' has deep meaning. In the ancient world, a shield was an essential piece of armor that provided protection from enemy attacks. Likewise, God is portrayed as a shield, providing His people with defense against their enemies. Additionally, God as help emphasizes His role as a helper for His people in times of trouble. This conveys a sense of God's active involvement in the lives of those who trust in Him. Are you trusting in God's protection and help in every area of your life? Proverbs 29:25 says, "The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe."

கர்த்தருக்குப் பயப்படுகிறவர்களே, கர்த்தரை நம்புங்கள்; அவரே அவர்களுக்குத் துணையும் அவர்களுக்குக் கேடகமுமாயிருக்கிறார். சங்கீதம் 115:11.

இந்த வசனம் கர்த்தருக்குப் பயப்படுகிறவர்களை அவரில் நம்பிக்கை வைக்க ஊக்குவிக்கிறது, ஏனெனில் அவர் அவர்களுக்கு உதவியாகவும் கேடகமாகவும் இருக்கிறார். தேவனுக்குப் பயப்படுவது அவருக்கு அஞ்சி நடுங்குவது அல்ல; என்பதை நாம் அறிவோம்; இது நம் வாழ்க்கையின் ஒவ்வொரு பகுதியிலும் அவருக்கு பயபக்தி, மரியாதை மற்றும் முன்னுரிமை கொடுப்பது பற்றியது."துணை" மற்றும் "கேடகம்" என்ற வார்த்தைகள் ஒரு ஆழ்ந்த அர்த்தத்தை உள்ளடக்கியவையாகும். பண்டைய உலகில், ஒரு கேடயம் எதிரிகளின் தாக்குதலிலிருந்து பாதுகாப்பை வழங்கும் ஒரு முக்கிய ஆயுதமாக இருந்தது. அதேபோல், தேவன் ஒரு கேடகமாக சித்தரிக்கப்படுகிறார், அவருடைய மக்களுக்கு எதிரிகளிடமிருந்து பாதுகாப்பை வழங்குகிறார். மேலும், கர்த்தர் துணையாக இருக்கிறார் என்பதைக் கூறுவதன் மூலம், அவரைப் பின்பற்றுகிறவர்களுக்கு ஆபத்தில் அவரே உதவியாக இருக்கிறார் என்பதைக் காட்டுகிறது. உங்கள் வாழ்க்கையின் ஒவ்வொரு பகுதியிலும் தேவனின் பாதுகாப்பையும் உதவியையும் நீங்கள் நம்புகிறீர்களா? நீதிமொழிகள் 29:25 கூறுகிறது, ”மனுஷனுக்குப் பயப்படும் பயம் கண்ணியை வருவிக்கும்; கர்த்தரை நம்புகிறவனோ உயர்ந்த அடைக்கலத்திலே வைக்கப்படுவான்.”

"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...

"Blog Y2 017 - Shine Your Light for Christ"

Image
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14.  The world is lost in darkness, sin, and evil, but Jesus Christ came as the true light, giving hope to everyone. Anyone who believes in Him through faith is rescued from darkness and brought into God's eternal light. When we accept this light, we receive salvation and become the light of the world, shining before others. Like a city on a hill, visible to everyone, let our light shine so others may see the light of Jesus in us—through our actions, words, and how we treat others. In everything we do, let our good deeds stand out in a world full of darkness so that others may see them and give glory to God in heaven. Are you letting your light shine in a way that others can see the light of Jesus through your actions and words?   1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who call...
