You’re completely mistaken if you think the Lord Almighty doesn’t have dreams.
If he didn’t have any dreams, he wouldn’t have sacrificed His only Son.
So, why did He do it? What dream could have possibly moved or motivated Him to sacrifice?
He dreamt of redeeming mankind, of saving people from going to hell and transforming their lives for His glory. That is, make them new through His Spirit; new creatures, according to His image and likeness – true children of God.
God spoke through His servant Asaph with a poetic language filled with profound feelings; like a common dreamer, a drowning man who longs for help or a bee that craves honey. Likewise, the Lord of Lords tenderly yearns to reveal Himself through His creatures. That’s His dream.
Oh! ...
How often do we use this word to express an overwhelming desire we’d like fulfilled?
Oh! If I won the lottery ...
Oh! If I had that kind of money, I would ...
Oh! If I could just find someone that makes me happy ...
Oh! If this or that …
That’s precisely what the Lord is referring to when He expresses the following in His dream.
“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries. The haters of the LORD would pretend submission to Him, but their fate would endure forever. He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; and with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you.” Psalm 81.13-16
But instead, He has to put up with affronts from those who insist on rejecting His teachings.
Pr Julio,
