Mr O, strange things happen to me when I read the Bible.
What do you mean?
It’s like this. Sometimes I read passages that I’ve read dozens of times before, but they leap out of the page at me and won’t leave me alone. I can’t get them out of my mind.
Give me an example.
Well, a couple of weeks ago I was reading through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. ‘Blessed are the meek’ arrested me, and since then it’s haunted me day and night.
What’s happening is quite straightforward. The Lord is dealing with you and wants to draw your attention to the importance of meekness.
