Finger On A Verse

The story is told of a lady who had an unusual mode of Bible study which she later had to abandon. She in early mornings after quickly flipping through pages of the Bible, with her eyes closed, would bring her finger down on a verse. She would then open her eyes, and that verse supposedly was her special God given inspiration and exhortation for that day. One morning as she brought her finger down on a verse, it said, “Judas went out and hanged himself.” She didn’t particularly like that verse, so she thought God would add further instructions if she tried again. The next time her finger hit the verse, “Go thou and do likewise.” She now being very perplexed on what to do, tries again. The next placement said, “What thou doest, do quickly.” Thus, she now had her God given exhortation for that day: Judas went out and hanged himself. Go and do likewise! Do it a quickly!
