Dreaming of Proverbs

I just had a really weird experience last night.

I actually had specific Scriptures appear in my dreams last night. And that was the first time that ever happened. Even in my undergrad days, when my daily Scripture consumption would put many people to shame (including the current me), I didn’t get this.

So what are the specific passages, you may ask? The first is this:

Proverbs 20:6 (NKJV) - Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man?

The second:

Proverbs 28:20 (NKJV) - A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.

The interesting thing is that in my dream I actually saw the exact page in my study bible, and there was a further explanation of the Hebrew word for ‘faithful’.

‘emunah (Strong’s #530) – Firmness, stability, faithfulness, fidelity, conscientiousness, steadiness, certainty; that which is permanent, enduring and steadfast. ‘emunah comes from the root ‘aman, “to be firm, sure, established and steady”. “Amen”, derived from the same root, means, “it is firmly, truly so!” (Spirit Filled Life Bible, New King James Version).

So you can guess that I’ll be giving this a lot of attention these couple of days, until I think I have squeezed out whatever I can from these couple of verses!

How about the rest of the dream? Errr…. Well, it involved being with a bunch of people from my church. We were involved with the logistics of a funeral, we had a hotel room especially for us to put all of our things (clothes and bags) and we spent a lot of the time wandering around the hotel, trying to find the right lift that would bring us to the correct hotel room where we had left our stuff.

Not sure if there was anything deeply significant or spiritually profound in that. Then again, I never claimed to be spiritually profound all the time!
