"Blog Y2 091 - Trusting God’s Perfect Timing"

Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. Micah 7:7.

This verse is from the book of Micah, one of the minor prophets in the Old Testament. It is a powerful expression of faith and trust in God during difficult times. Looking to the Lord means focusing on Him, turning away from hopelessness, and believing that He is our source of strength and deliverance. The phrase "I will wait for the God of my salvation" shows the prophet’s patience and trust in God’s perfect timing. It reminds us that God is faithful to keep His promises and will bring deliverance at the right time. Waiting on God is not about doing nothing; it is about staying firm in faith even when things don’t seem to change. This verse encourages us to have unshakable faith, trusting God no matter the circumstances. Do you trust God's timing and remain patient in difficult situations? Psalm 27:14 says: “Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!”

நானோவென்றால் கர்த்தரை நோக்கிக்கொண்டு, என் இரட்சிப்பின் தேவனுக்குக் காத்திருப்பேன்; என் தேவன் என்னைக் கேட்டருளுவார். மீகா 7:7.

இந்த வசனம் பழைய ஏற்பாட்டில் உள்ள சிறு தீர்க்கதரிசிகளில் ஒருவரான மீகாவின் புத்தகத்தில் உள்ளது.  கடினமான நேரங்களில் தேவனை நம்பும் நம்பிக்கையையும் விசுவாசத்தையும் வெளிப்படுத்தும் ஒரு ஆழமான கருத்தாகும்.  தேவனைப் பார்ப்பது என்பது, அவர்மீது கவனம் செலுத்துவது, நம்பிக்கையின்மையிலிருந்து விலகி, அவர் நமது பலம் மற்றும் விடுதலையின் ஆதாரம் என்று நம்புவது.  "நான் என்னுடைய இரட்சகராகிய தேவனை நோக்கி காத்திருப்பேன்" என்ற சொற்றொடர் தீர்க்கதரிசியின் பொறுமையையும் தேவனின் சரியான நேரத்தில் செய்வார் என்ற நம்பிக்கையையும் காட்டுகிறது.  தேவன் தம்முடைய வாக்குறுதிகளைக் கடைப்பிடிக்க உண்மையுள்ளவர் என்பதையும், சரியான நேரத்தில் விடுதலையைக் கொண்டுவருவார் என்பதையும் இது நமக்கு நினைவூட்டுகிறது.  தேவனுக்காகக் காத்திருப்பது ஒன்றும் செய்யாமல் இருப்பதல்ல;  விஷயங்கள் நடக்காதபோதும் விசுவாசத்தில் உறுதியாக இருப்பதுதான்.  எந்தச் சூழ்நிலையிலும் தேவனை நம்பி அசைக்க முடியாத நம்பிக்கை வைத்திருக்க இந்த வசனம் நம்மை ஊக்குவிக்கிறது.  நீங்கள் தேவனின் நேரத்தை நம்பி, கடினமான சூழ்நிலைகளில் பொறுமையாக இருக்கிறீர்களா?  சங்கீதம் 27:14 கூறுகிறது: “கர்த்தருக்குக் காத்திரு; அவர் உன் இருதயத்தை ஸ்திரப்படுத்துவார்; திடமனதாயிருந்து, கர்த்தருக்கே காத்திரு.!”

"Blog Y2 094 - Live by the Golden Rule"

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 ...

"Blog Y2 450 - Fear God, Find Life"

  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 14:27. This verse highlights the importance of fearing the Lord, showing that reverence for God brings life, protection, and wisdom. It reminds us that honoring God leads to a purposeful, fulfilling life, keeping us safe from spiritual destruction. The "fear of the Lord" is like a life-giving fountain, providing spiritual nourishment, joy, and purpose. It helps believers grow in their relationship with God, bringing wisdom and understanding.

"Blog Y2 099 - Gratitude Unlocks God’s Peace"

Image
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15. Each day, we must allow God’s peace to rule in our hearts. God promises us His peace, and as we focus on Him and not on ourselves, His peace becomes a constant reality. This peace is something all believers are called to experience, both individually and together, as the body of Christ. However, this peace can be blocked when our hearts are not thankful or filled with praise. A heart full of gratitude and praise prepares us to receive Christ’s peace and share it with others. The verse also reminds us of the need for unity in the body of Christ, where believers are called to work together in love and harmony. Philippians 4:7 says: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Reflection: Am I allowing God’s peace to truly rule in my heart each day? Am I fostering gratitude and unity with others as...

"Blog Y2 095 - Seek God, Find Deliverance"

Image
I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4. Psalm 34 is a psalm of David, written during a time when he was fleeing from King Saul and seeking refuge from danger. Throughout the psalm, David praises God for delivering him from his enemies and for His faithfulness in protecting those who seek Him. David reflects on his own experience of seeking the Lord in times of trouble and finding deliverance from his fears. This verse is a testament to the power of faith and the trust David had in God's ability to comfort and protect him in times of distress. It serves as a reminder that when we earnestly seek the Lord, He hears our prayers and provides for our needs. Do you seek the Lord in your difficult situation? Jeremiah 29:13 says: "And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." நான் கர்த்தரைத் தேடினேன், அவர் எனக்குச் செவிகொடுத்து, என்னுடைய எல்லாப் பயத்துக்கும் என்னை நீங்கலாக்கிவிட்டார். சங்கீதம் 34:4. சங...

"Blog Y2 100 - Hope in God’s Faithful Plans"

Image
  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11. Today’s verse highlights the idea of an "expected end"—a future filled with hope. It serves as a verse of comfort and encouragement for those facing adversity. It reminds believers that God is always at work, even in difficult situations, and that His plans for His people are good. This is a source of hope and assurance for those who trust in the Lord and His promises. The verse symbolizes God’s faithfulness and care for His people. The fact that God’s thoughts are of peace reflects His love and personal concern for us, conveying a sense of intimacy and care from the Lord. The Apostle Paul prays for the people in Romans 15:13, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Also, Proverbs 3:6 says, "In all your ways acknowledge Him,...

"Blog Y2 097 - "Christ: Our Source of Wisdom"

Image
In whom(Christ) are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:3. The Apostle Paul reminds the believers in Colossae that their ultimate source of wisdom and knowledge is found in Christ alone and urges them not to be led astray by false teachings or human reasoning. The " treasures of wisdom and knowledge " hidden in Christ symbolize the divine revelation and insight that come from a relationship with Him. Paul describes this wisdom as secret and beyond human understanding, highlighting that it surpasses anything we can grasp apart from God. This serves as a reminder that our faith is not grounded in human wisdom or reasoning, but in the wisdom and knowledge that come through a relationship with Christ. Is your wisdom rooted in Christ, or is it influenced by human reasoning and worldly teachings? 1 Corinthians 1:30 says: " But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption....

"Blog Y2 449 - Salvation: Grace, Not Works"

Image
God will render…. eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality. Romans 2:6,7. In this scripture, Apostle Paul addresses the concept of judgment and how people will be judged by God. He emphasizes that God's judgment is fair and will be based on our actions and beliefs. However, the Bible teaches that no one can perfectly do good or achieve salvation by their works alone, because all have sinned (Romans 3:23). Eternal life is ultimately a gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ, not earned by good deeds (Ephesians 2:8-9). Good works are important as evidence of a genuine faith and relationship with God, but they are not the basis for salvation. A perfectly righteous life would theoretically earn eternal life, but since no one can achieve that standard apart from Jesus, salvation comes through grace, not human effort. James 1:12 says: "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved,...
