Proverbs 9

How come I am afraid to 'dream'?

Msg vs. 7-12 If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you'll get slapped in the face;
confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins. So don't waste your time on a scoffer;
all you'll get for your pains is abuse. But if you correct those who care about life,
that's different—they'll love you for it! Save your breath for the wise—they'll be wiser for it;
tell good people what you know—they'll profit from it.
Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-God,
insight into life from knowing a Holy God. It's through me, Lady Wisdom, that your life deepens, and the years of your life ripen. Live wisely and wisdom will permeate your life;
mock life and life will mock you.

I have slapped many......don't think I was ever a scoffer but arrogance runs deep I am sure. The humility called for is elusive and scary, vulnerability here is one thing, in the world frightens me. So I don't live free, I don't dream and Father You see this and the dreams I keep hidden I pray to pursue You here and in my dreams.....

I think that most of life is designed to humble you.. humility is the secret to life.. it will cause you to listen to good advice.. it will help you in all of your relationships.. it will help you to interpret adversity in a healthy way.
