From Gary... HOLY HOTLINES

The world can be a nasty place. When life becomes difficult, it is not unusual to have one of the above problems.  Fortunately, God has the remedy and all you have to do is read.  So, read the following...

1 Peter Chapter 5

 7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 

Isaiah, Chapter 41

  10 Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you.
Yes, I will help you.
Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

1 Corinthians, Chapter 10

   13  No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 

Romans, Chapter 10

  17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, 
“Their sound went out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”

Isaiah, Chapter 53

  5 But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment that brought our peace was on him;
and by his wounds we are healed.

Psalm 34

 18 Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart,
and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

 Deuteronomy, Chapter 31

8 Yahweh himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”

Very practical stuff!!!  But just a sign isn't enough, you have to read it.  And when you do, read it out loud!!! If you never have read these passages before, they might come as a surprise for you.  I can imagine the cartoon character "Robin" exclaiming: 'Holy Hotlines',Batman"!!! However, life is more than a mere cartoon; it is reality!!! The thing is- all of the above are true and worth reading again and again!!! 

PS. You might want to print this out and post it somewhere- you never know when it might come in handy!!!
