There is no way you wont be like this when you have not read your Bible Sandra: Why must we blame everything on not reading the Bible Mrs. Johnson: Ok, tell me, whats responsible for you looking like Lucozade like this? Sandra: It is because I cannot find any husband Mrs. Johnson: But your husband is right there! Sandra: Where? Mrs. Johnson: Right there, in the Bible (pointing to a Bible) Sandra: he he he Mrs. Johnson: You dont believe that? Sandra: With all due respect, you are married now, did You get your husband from the Bible? Mrs. Johnson: Yes Sandra: Show me the chapter and the verse Mrs. Johnson: Heb 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Sandra: But now that he has refused to come and have decided to tarry, what should I do? Mrs. Johnson: You stopped being in touch with him. You stopped reading the Bible. You lost touch with the one that will cause Him to come. Sandra: What about all those that are married and dont know God? Mrs. Johnson: You too can marry anybody today. What about that other man at your place of work? Sandra: But he doesnt even go to church! Mrs. Johnson: So you cannot just marry anybody. Stop comparing yourself to all those who dont know God and yet they are married. Sandra: So, I should go and find my husband in the scriptures? Mrs. Johnson: Yes, that relationship with God through His word will lead you into His will Sandra: Why is the Bible that powerful and why must I read it daily? Mrs. Johnson: The word of God is life. That is where you get life from. The word of God is a lamp. That is where you get light and direction from. The word of God is food (milk and meat) for your soul. That is where you get strength from. The word of God is filled with Gods glory. That is where you get your beauty from. The word of God will surround you with Favour. That is where you get your fragrance from.
