There is a Protestant practice of “turning up a verse” — i.e., when in doubt about any problem in life, go to a Bible, open it at random, with eyes closed, point to whatever verse your finger lands on, and take that as your answer.
This example of Protestant "superstition" intrigued me to the extent that I decided to Google your quote.
Alas Google failed me: No results found for "TURNING UP A VERSE".
Got any other good ones?

Reggie, I had a prottie neighbor tell me that was how to get tha answer to a question I had about the Bible once. She said that’s how to get the answer: Open the Bible at random, and point to any verse. The verse you point to was supposed to answer the other question.
Just another one of the reasons I’m not prottie, myself, today.

I gather you never read the “Anne” books.
