The Lord Laughs

We're living in tough times. Our society is approving what God finds abominable. We are affirming what God denies. We are perfectly happy celebrating insanity that says, "I feel this is true, so it is true." And as we immerse ourselves deeper into the depraved mind (Rom 1:28), it starts to look depressing. Evil is winning. God's truth is waning. It looks bad for the home team.

Then I read the other day a passage that included the phrase, "The Lord laughs." Oh, really? What does He laugh at?

The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes at him with his teeth.
The Lord laughs at him, for He sees his day is coming. (Psa 37:12-13)

Did you know that? There it is in black and white. "The Lord laughs." At what? Something you said? A good punchline? No, at the wicked plots of evil men against the righteous. Why? Because "his day is coming." God will make everything right.

More, "The LORD has made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of evil." (Prov 16:4) Did you know that? God plans for evil for His purposes and by His design. He will make it right. And all that woe that we believers see in the courts and in the streets and even in our churches? The Lord laughs. He has this all in hand. Don't worry about it.

Good to know.
