Jeeva, Lalitha and Deva - Verse of the Day - English and Tamil

Judge not, that you be not judged. Matthew 7:1.           We are all the handiwork of God, created uniquely and beautifully, adorned with an inner radiance that reflects His craftsmanship. Only our God is truly perfect. Though we have been redeemed by His grace, we still carry weaknesses and shortcomings. We remain utterly dependent on the Holy Spirit, for without Him, we cannot take a single step. There is nothing in ourselves to boast about—our salvation was not earned but freely given while we were yet sinners.            When we look upon others, let us remember where we once stood before the Lord redeemed us. Our natural eyes perceive only the surface; we do not know the burdens, battles, or hidden struggles others carry. The spirit of judgment and accusation does not come from God—it is the work of the enemy. It is not in the nature of our loving Father to condemn but to restore. As His children, let us earnestly pray tha...

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10.         The blessings of God are the greatest gifts a person can receive—far beyond anything the world can offer. When our Heavenly Father bestows His blessings, they are of eternal value, surpassing all earthly riches. Among these, one of the highest honors is to be persecuted for His sake. Such persecution does not arise from anything ordinary but flows from a deep love and intimate relationship with God.           The reward for enduring suffering for Christ is incomparable. Even if a man were to gain the entire world yet lose his soul, what a tragic loss that would be! But our God, in His faithfulness, promises eternal life and His glorious Kingdom to those who stand firm despite trials and opposition for His name. If we face rejection, hardship, or persecution because we are His children, we can take heart—our Father guar...

For I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you. Acts 18:10.           What a beautiful and powerful truth: our Lord God, El Shaddai, is with us! This promise is especially comforting when we stand boldly for Christ. When we declare that Jesus Christ is Lord—that no one can come to the Father except through Him, and that there is no other way to eternal life—the world may rise against us. We often find ourselves without human support when we speak this truth, but we are never alone.           The enemy’s primary target is always God’s children. Yet our loving Father promises to stand with us every step of the way. Anyone who dares to harm us is touching the apple of His eye (Zec.2:8) , and He will rise to defend us. Nothing can shake those who belong to God because the One who dwells within us is far greater than the one who is in the world.           We are anointed, sealed by the Spirit...

For He will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also, and him who has no helper.  Psalms‬ ‭72‬:‭12‬.           Praise the Lord! In this busy world, where so many are consumed by their own pursuits, it can seem as though the poor and needy are forgotten. Yet, our God—the Creator of Heaven and earth—never forgets. His heart is always turned toward the broken, the desperate, and those who feel they have no one to turn to.             Our God is the God of the helpless and desolate. He hears the cries of the poor and needy, and His compassion moves Him to act on their behalf. If we ever find ourselves in such a state, we can have full confidence that He will hear us, too. His promise stands firm: He will help us.           Consider this: if God is so mindful of the birds of the air and every living creature, how much more does He care for us, His children? (Matthew 6:26). His love is unfaili...

Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:4.           Our Lord God, the Creator of heaven and earth, uniquely and wonderfully made human beings in His image. Each person is specially created, reflecting His divine handiwork. God’s plan for humanity centers on redemption through Christ and eternal communion with Him. True worship, however, flows from the depths of a redeemed heart—one that has been saved by His grace.             In all of creation, God’s love for humanity stands unmatched. He loves us more than anything else in heaven or on earth. Out of this boundless love, Jesus Christ came into the world to save all people, regardless of their background, race, or status. His desire is that no one should perish but that everyone should reign with Him in His eternal kingdom.           Yet, Satan, knowing his time is short, is working tirelessly to lea...

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2:17           This verse reminds us of the temporary nature of the world and everything it offers. The desires, possessions, and pursuits that captivate so many hearts today are fleeting—they are here today and gone tomorrow. Yet, amid this impermanence, God offers us something eternal: life in Him through obedience to His will.           When our Lord Jesus Christ walked on earth, His entire life was centered on one purpose: fulfilling the will of the Father. From His birth in a humble manger to His ministry of teaching, healing, and loving, and finally to His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus’ heart was always fixed on pleasing God. Even in His most agonizing moments, such as in the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42). His life is the perfect example of total surrender and o...

Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬.    

And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. John 1:16.           Our God is a God of abundance, overflowing with love and blessings. His love for us is so immense that He gave His only begotten Son—the One He loved the most—to redeem us. This ultimate act of love reveals the depth of His abundant grace.           From His fullness, God continually gives us gift after gift, blessing after blessing. But above all, He pours out His amazing, abundant grace upon us. In this chaotic and challenging world, His grace is what sustains us. To face difficulties, to live a life that honors Him, and to navigate every step of our journey, we need His grace.           God, in His infinite fullness, holds every good and perfect thing we could ever need. Because we belong to Him, His grace is always sufficient, even in the moments when we feel weak or ready to stumble. Ephesians 1:3 says: “Bles...

The labor of the righteous leads to life, The wages of the wicked to sin.  Proverbs 10:16.           The righteous are those deemed divine in God’s sight, walking in His ways and reflecting His character. They think and act according to God’s guidance, staying on the path of righteousness. Though their labor may be strenuous and their earnings modest, they enjoy the fullness of God’s blessings.           Consider the example of the prophet’s widow during Elisha’s time. Though she had only a small portion of oil, she obeyed the prophet’s instructions and shared her meager supply with him. Miraculously, God provided for her needs, and the oil did not run dry until the famine ended. This illustrates a powerful truth: the hard work and faithfulness of the righteous bring life—not only to themselves but to others as well. Their obedience and trust in God allow them to become vessels of His blessings, even in scarcity.  ...

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. Proverbs 10:2. We must first recognize that our life in this world is fleeting, but the life beyond this world is eternal. The treasures we accumulate in this life may provide temporary comfort and security, but they cannot secure the eternal kingdom that God has promised to those who love Him.             Treasures gained through wickedness are particularly dangerous. While they may seem to bring immediate ease or pleasure, they carry devastating consequences. Such ill-gotten wealth becomes a curse to the one who acquires it, leading them away from God and ultimately into eternal death.           In contrast, righteousness and moral integrity bring deliverance from eternal death. Those who walk in righteousness are upheld by the Lord. Jesus Christ Himself intercedes for them, standing as their Redeemer to rescue them from eternal condemnation. ...

The mountains will bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. Psalms‬ ‭72‬:‭3‬.           Two things can reign in our lives: the world or our Lord God. The world may offer temporary satisfaction, but it is not connected to the divine peace that only God provides. God’s blessings come with everlasting peace and true happiness, while the blessings offered by the world may only bring fleeting joy and comfort.           When God reigns in our hearts, even the deepest storms of life reflect His calm. Our God is not only the God of the mountains; He is also the God of the valleys. He cares for both the mighty challenges, symbolized by mountains, and the smallest details, represented by hills.           When our mighty Father reigns in our lives, His peace and righteousness prevail. God’s righteousness flows into every area of life, from the overwhelming challenges to the most mino...

Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Isaiah 48:18.           Today’s verse reminds us that it’s not enough to simply hear God’s commandments; we must also walk in them. If we truly love Him, our obedience will flow naturally from that love. His commandments are not burdensome, and what’s more, He equips and strengthens us to follow them. God’s promises often come with conditions. When we obey His commands, He promises us peace like a flowing river—constant, deep, and refreshing.              He also assures us of righteousness, symbolizing victory, success, and abundant blessings, like the unceasing waves crashing upon the seashore. This righteousness will overflow in our lives, bringing abundant joy and fruitfulness. Let us commit to walk in His ways, trusting that His commands lead us to a life filled with His peace and Hi...

  The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 13:14.           Wise people are those who fear God, love Him, and walk in the path He reveals to them. They consistently seek direction from God, and in His mercy, He makes us wise as we draw near to Him. To recognize the truly wise, we need hearts and eyes filled with God’s discernment. Only when we are close to God can we identify these wise individuals.           The wise carry within them a fountain of life, and when we heed their counsel, we too can escape the snares of death. Our God is the wisest in Heaven and on earth. While we may not see the traps the enemy sets before us, God knows all things. He instructs and guides us, revealing dangers ahead so that we can avoid them.           God often speaks to us through wise people, using them to show us the way to escape any danger or snare Sat...

He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. Psalm 1:3.           As believers, we rejoice in the truth that we are not bound by religion but are called into a living relationship with our Heavenly Father. We are truly blessed because we know the way to eternal life through Him. However, to cultivate and deepen this relationship, two essential practices are required: prayer and the meditation of God’s Word. Prayer is the means by which we commune with Him, while meditating on His Word allows us to hear His voice and understand His will. Both are vital, like two tracks that keep us steadfast on the path of faith.            The world may attempt to distract us with its own ideas and teachings, pulling us away from our relationship with God. Yet, as His children, we must tune our ears to hear His voice clear...

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30.           Today’s verse highlights two admirable qualities: righteousness and wisdom. A godly person, one who has dedicated their life to God, will embody both. The righteous person is dear to God and is likened to a tree of life—bearing fruit in due season and bringing blessings to others. Their life reflects God's goodness and holiness. On the other hand, wisdom is a gift from God. A wise person constantly contemplates eternal life and the Kingdom of God, prioritizing the winning of souls over fleeting worldly treasures.            Earthly wealth and achievements are temporary, but the souls we lead to God are of eternal value. They bring joy to our Heavenly Father and glorify Him. May our loving Heavenly Father help us to live righteous lives, seek His wisdom, and focus on the mission of winning souls for His Kingdom. Daniel 12:...

But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works. Psalm 73:28.           When we observe the world and its fleeting power, it’s easy for our hopes to waver. Just as Peter’s faith faltered when he focused on the wind and the waves instead of Jesus, we too can stumble when our eyes are distracted by the challenges around us. However, the moment Peter cried out for help, Jesus reached out, lifted him up, and together they walked on the water before stepping into the boat.            This reminds us of an essential truth: when we fix our eyes on Jesus, He becomes our unshakable foundation—our strength, our hope, and our all. Drawing near to God and placing our trust in Him transforms our lives. As today’s verse declares, it is good for us to draw near to God because He is our refuge, our safest place of security.           In a world that...

Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! Psalm 47:6.           Praise is not just an action but a response—a natural outpouring of our love, gratitude, and reverence for our Creator. It reminds us of His greatness and reorients our hearts toward His majesty. Praise has the power to break spiritual chains. As Paul and Silas sang hymns in prison, the foundations of the jail were shaken, and they were set free (Acts 16:25-26). When we praise God in faith, we invite His divine intervention and open the door for miracles.  Praise strengthens our spirit. It lifts us out of despair and fills us with joy and peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). It shifts our focus from earthly troubles to the eternal hope we have in Christ Jesus.           We praise Him not because of what He does but because He is holy, righteous, and faithful. As the psalmist declares, “Great is the Lord, an...

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. Psalm 9:10.           The knowledge of God and His name reveals who He truly is and reminds us of our identity in Him. When we come to understand the greatness of our God and the power of His name, we find it impossible to place our trust in anything else in this world. Such a wonderful and mighty God we serve, and such a glorious name we are privileged to call upon!  As His promise assures us, if we diligently seek Him, He will never leave us nor forsake us.            Even young lions may go hungry, but those who search for and seek God Almighty will lack no good thing. May our hearts be filled with the knowledge of His name, and may we continually seek Him in all things, trusting Him to provide, guide, and sustain us. Proverbs 18:10 says: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it an...
