The only way I've been able to square those two in my mind is by TRUSTING NO ONE and EXPECTING NOTHING.

Very easy to take advantage of most people if you wanted to. But, since you never want to, you don't think that way about yourself at all(humble), and only notice it when others try to do it. |

User ID: 80117407 United States 12/08/2021 09:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Being humble doesn't mean you don't know what is going on, it means you aren't full of yourself and your not a braggart or a showoff. Being wise as a serpent, means to have their cunning and being able to see their snares, traps and tricks, but being gentle as a dove, means you don't succumb to engaging in their devilry. It means to be able to think like your enemy, without defiling yourself, by becoming your enemy. When you hunt monsters, you must take care not to become a monster yourself. “The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.” Elena Gorokhova, A Mountain of Crumbs |

Example: A Dove is the symbol of peace and humility, but if you put your hand near it's nest, to mess with it's nest, it can rip you a new one. GOD can also approach you with a still, small, voice, like with Elijah, in 1 Kings 19:12, yet, GOD can rip you a new Universe, in an instant. |
