How to mess up your life?

he came in from work he read the precious book to his precious wife. He saw where she had high lighted,
he read her little notes of learning, and he read the word of God to her.
One day as he was reading the Word, the Word grabbed his heart and he started crying, and he decided he would serve
Jesus the rest of his life. In her blindness, he received his sight. What was terrible to the old lady became an answer to
her prayer life? All of this because the Word of God is powerful and quicker than any two-edged sword.

Psalms 107:20 He sent His Word, and healed them and delivered them from their destructions.
There are many benefits to reading, studying, and knowing the Word of God.
If you want to mess up your life and your family and have a weak anemic church, don’t read your Bible!
Healing can be hidden within the Word of God! Deliverance from destruction can be found in the power of God’s book!
Notice the verse, it says: destructions ... plural, many, every battle and failure can be traced back to a lacking of understanding and knowledge and wisdom of the Bible.

Samson would not listen to his Mom and Dad’s teachings? Samson would not follow the teachings of the church in his day? Samson could not see the importance of little things. Samson felt that the rules of proper procedures was too restrictive
Never date who would not make a great mate! A poor dating process initializes a poor marriage? Because of poor choices, we can really mess up our life and many others. There will come a testing. We must see beyond our eyes.
