"Blog Y2 054 - Seek God's Light and Walk in Faith"

For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. Psalm 36:9.

King David praised God as He is both the fountain of life; and the source of true light. As the fountain of living waters, He gives joy to those who trust in Him. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Jesus Christ is the Light of the World.  Like David, we are called to seek God's light, follow His path, and walk in faith. The Gospel of John shows that Jesus came to give life and light to all who believe in Him.  He is the life giver and He is the one who can enlighten our darkness.  He wants us to walk in His light. Are you truly seeking God’s light and walking in His path, as David did? John 8:12 says: "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

ஜீவஊற்று உம்மிடத்தில் இருக்கிறது; உம்முடைய வெளிச்சத்திலே வெளிச்சம் காண்கிறோம். சங்கீதம் 36:9.

தாவீது ராஜா தேவனை ஜீவ ஊற்று மற்றும் உண்மையான ஒளிவிளக்கு என்று துதித்தார். ஜீவத்தண்ணீரின் ஊற்றாக, தம்மை நம்புகிறவர்களுக்கு அவர் மகிழ்ச்சியைத் தருகிறார். தேவன் ஒளியாயிருக்கிறார், அவரில் எவ்வளவேனும் இருளில்லை. இயேசு கிறிஸ்து உலகத்தின் ஒளியாயிருக்கிறார். தாவீதைப் போல, நாம் தேவனின் ஒளியைத் தேடவும், அவரது பாதையைப் பின்பற்றவும், விசுவாசத்தில் நடக்கவும் அழைக்கப்படுகிறோம். தம்மை விசுவாசிக்கிற யாவருக்கும் ஜீவனையும் ஒளியையும் கொடுக்க இயேசு வந்தார் என்பதை யோவான் நற்செய்தி காட்டுகிறது. அவர் நமக்கு உயிர் கொடுப்பவர், அவர் நம் இருளை ஒளிரச் செய்யக்கூடியவர்.  நாம் அவருடைய வெளிச்சத்தில் நடக்க வேண்டும் என்று அவர் விரும்புகிறார். தாவீதைப் போல நீங்கள் உண்மையிலேயே தேவனுடைய ஒளியைத் தேடி, அவருடைய பாதையில் நடக்கிறீர்களா? யோவான் 8:12 கூறுகிறது: “மறுபடியும் இயேசு ஜனங்களை நோக்கி: நான் உலகத்திற்கு ஒளியாயிருக்கிறேன், என்னைப் பின்பற்றுகிறவன் இருளிலே நடவாமல் ஜீவஒளியை அடைந்திருப்பான் என்றார்.”

"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 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 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 049 - Abundant Blessings for Those Who Trust"

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men! Psalm 31:19. In this Psalm, King David praises God for His goodness and abundant blessings stored up for those who fear and trust Him. God’s goodness reflects His generosity, extending far beyond anything we can imagine, demonstrating His infinitely generous attitude toward us. The psalmist declares that the Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. By nature, God desires to bring joy and blessings to all His creation. His eternal storehouse overflows into the lives of those who love Him.  The Lord is good and upright. He knows His own—those who believe in His gift of salvation, trust His unconditional love, honor His holy name, and take refuge in His mighty protection. For those who believe, He has prepared grace upon grace and blessing upon blessing, securing them in Christ forever. We can exper

"Blog Y2 046 - Trust in God's Protection and Provision."

The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14. This is a powerful declaration of God's faithfulness and protection. The verse from Exodus tells the story of the Israelites trapped between the Red Sea and the Egyptian army. They were filled with fear, but Moses reassured them that God would fight for them. The verse highlights God's protection and provision, showing that even in impossible situations, we can trust Him to defend and deliver us. The Israelites, recently freed from slavery, faced the Red Sea as Pharaoh pursued them. When they felt helpless, God promised through Moses to fight on their behalf, reminding them to trust in Him during overwhelming challenges. Similarly, today, God is reminding us to trust Him. Do you trust God's faithfulness and protection in overwhelming situations, as the Israelites did? Deuteronomy 1:30 says: “The LORD your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt befor

"Blog Y2 044 - God's Mercy Endures Through All."

Image
Who remembered us in our lowly state, For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 136:23. This psalm is a hymn of thanksgiving for God's enduring love and constant presence. The repetition of the phrase "for His mercy endures forever" at the end of each verse in this psalm serves as a reminder of God's unconditional love and care for us. Today's verse speaks about God's faithfulness and unchanging nature, as well as the hope and reassurance that His mercy is always available to those in need. The phrase "in our lowly state" conveys the idea of being in a state of poverty, oppression, or helplessness. It reminds us that God remembers us in our weakness and suffering, and He extends His mercy toward us. In this world, we sometimes feel all alone, but He is with us in our lowly state. Are you trusting in God's mercy and presence during times of weakness or loneliness? Lamentations 3:22-23 says: “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because H

"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
