Where do we look when we need service?  Some people actually use the Yellow Pages, which is a book compiled of services available.

Reading my Bible one tear-filled night the words in Isaiah 9 became alive to me.  “His Name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace.”

Suffering from years of abuse, neglect and unfaithfulness, my family was all but destroyed.  Help had been sought from pastors and counselors of all kinds.  All advised me to get out of that relationship as it was killing me.

Nothing can grow in a world of darkness without love and care.  Suddenly the scripture was the light switch that illuminated the darkness and brought faith and hope.

That night I called this Wonderful Counselor and asked Him to guide me.  He alone knew the outcome.  He loved my husband, as well as me and my sons.

A plan began to unfold and the Word of God came alive.  Awareness that God was no respecter of persons became personal.  One evening I read where Jesus spoke to Simon Peter.  “Simon, Simon, satan has desired to have you and to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith will fail not, and when you have been converted you will strengthen the brethren.”

Thoughts flooded my brain, “Well, if God is not a respecter of persons, maybe He will pray for my husband, Bobby.”  Taking my pen I scratched out Simon and wrote Bobby in the verse.

Constantly I quoted that verse to make two statements:  One, in faith, that God is no respecter of persons and His word will not return void!  Two was that the devil would know I believed that he is defeated and cannot have my husband!

After five years in bondage and torment the light of God’s Presence began to dispel the darkness that surrounded us.  The Deliverer had come and the extermination had begun!  Many imps of hell had to be swept away…..restoration had begun!

The Counselor said, “Your bill is paid in full!”

Thank you God for THE BOOK that lists the services I need.

I pray you will be encouraged and continue to seek answers from God in His yellow pages – the Bible.
