GOD HAD A DREAM

Once, more eons ago than any of us can imagine, God had a dream – about a big, wide, wonderful universe with a tiny blue planet in the midst of it all. How it would be called earth and covered with all manner of green and growing things, and then he would create life.

And His dream began with the words, In the beginning… and it was to be the opening of the Book of Genesis. But then He got to thinking about it, how six days of constant creation would be down right wearying. So he killed His dream and it never happened.

But it didn’t happen that way - God and a dream dead in the water - did it?

Once upon a time, over 2,000 years ago, God had another dream. “I’m going to send my Son to earth to save mankind. I’m going to have a host of angels light up the sky to announce His birth. Then I’m going to have Jesus, for this shall be His name, preach and teach in a manner different than ever heard before and offer salvation. And then there is going to be a death on a cross, so there can be a resurrection and a promise of immortality-- ”

But then God got to thinking about it and decided He was having delusions of grandeur. So instead of Salvation He thought small and did nothing at all. But it didn’t happen that way - God and a dream dead in the water - did it?

How often do you kill one of your dreams without letting it march toward becoming a deed? Utter the defeatist’s mantra, “It can’t be done! You’re expecting too much!” How much time do you spend paralyzed by paranoia? Are you guilty of refusing to even talk about positive thinking, let alone believe in it? How much do you really believe in God’s power?

Remember Joshua, successor to Moses, survivor of forty years of wandering in the wilderness. Weary and worried, more than willing to forget the whole thing, but God sitting him up straight with the words, Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)
