The famous comedian Woody Allen once said, “If you want to make God laugh,
tell him your plans.” Well, that’s one way for sure!
But if you think about it, there are two kinds of laughter.
The one we mostly know is the laughter of hearing a funny joke
(like today’s cartoon) or having a good time with friends.
In fact the Bible even says that this type of laughter is good
for our body and soul (Proverbs 17:22) But even flipping this cartoon around a bit,
there is the laughter AT someone or something for the failure
of their ways, and this is what today’s scripture verse is saying to those
that are contrary to God.
God, to put it bluntly, doesn’t look down well on evil people,
ways or attitudes towards Him. Many that are hyper-critical of
the “god” of the Bible are fond of pointing out how cruel,
angry and even sadistic God is as shown in many Old Testament
accounts as proof that such a “god” cannot be worthy of
any kind of respect - let alone worship.
However to understand the background of these stories of wrath it is vital
to know WHY these events occurred.
In a very, VERY concise nutshell the people that God
ordered killed were heinous groups of wicked people that were
followers and worshippers of numerous false gods. Even more importantly
they were haters and rebels against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
and sought to blaspheme God and destroy his people. Be that as it may,
whoever or wherever people are that spit in the face of god
(if he/she/it even exists…) have a day that is coming where instead of
them laughing at “god”, GOD WILL BE LAUGHING AT THEM.
The scripture makes this clear here in the Epistles:
“Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God.
You will reap exactly what you plant.”
Galatians 6:7
My friends, this is perhaps one of the sternest message I have ever written on
Your Daily Notes but it is the TRUTH. Of course
you have the right and freedom to believe or think anything you want
about the Bible, Christ, Sin, and God. To you, all this might be
just a bunch of Nonsense, but consider this...and what if you are wrong?
God is not a cruel, sadistic God, but he is a God of Justice
but even much more, God is the God of
LOVE. He takes much more pleasure of laughing
WITH you in LOVE then the horror of laughing AT you in JUDGEMENT.
Which way would you prefer to hear that laughter?
