Have you ever felt that God was speaking directly to you from the Bible?

Many years ago when I was still in my teens, but working and living on my own,I had an experience that I have never forgotten. I'd had a disagreement with a friend, and lost my temper. I'd said many unkind things,as one often does when angry. By the time,I reached home however,I was already feeling bad, about the whole thing,and knew I had to do something about it. I went to my bedroom where I always kept my Bible, and falling to my knees opened it randomly. Imagine my shock as these words almost seemed to leap out at me, THE WRATH OF MAN WORKETH NOT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (James 1:20) KJV. I felt that God had actually spoken to me,and all the anger left me. Immediately I knew I had to find my friend and make amends. I wish I could say that I've followed that advice ever since that day, but of course I haven't,like everyone else I still become angry sometimes. My head always starts to cool however,when I remember the day God spoke to me with the best advise I've ever been given. I might add here that I searched for weeks after to find that Bible verse again,as I had been too overwhelmed,to note the book,and certainly not the chapter and verse.
