“Daydream Believer”


I Samuel 3-6

The Lord has left the hearts of the people of Israel.  Some people make the grave mistake of believing: “If I stop believing in God, He ceases to exist.”  How foolish.  As if God depended upon us to make Him up.  (Remember what Nietzsche’s despair led him to?)  They’re like the old Monkeys’ hit “Daydream Believers”, acting as if they dreamed up God.   A good exercise that will convince you of the silliness of that thought is to try and do it.  Dream up an idea that is equal to God.  Not something based on God, “an all-powerful, space alien…” but a brand new thought that encompasses all of who God has revealed Himself to be.  A new, “you thought up”, idea that big.  It can’t be done.  God, the very idea, is too abstract for us to conceive.  So how did we conceive of Him?

Maybe He “daydreamed” us up… made each and every one of us and then revealed Himself to us! 

Perish the thought if He ever stops “daydreaming”!!!
