Question of the day: Is God too serious?

God has a sense of humor, which is one of the reasons we have a sense of humor.

 

Why do we have a hard time seeing God as playful?

 

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” Psalm 126:2

Psalm 126

 

God’s promise of salvation includes our mourning turning to laughter.

Laughter is good for our physical and mental health.

 

Ecclesiastes 3:4: “A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.” 

  • There is a time for everything, including laughter
  • We are created by God to have a sense of humor
  • it’s good for our physical and mental health

 

He who sits in the heavens laughs Psalm 2:4

Psalm 2

This is not yin/yang. There is no equal power. God laughs at our attempts to live our own way. It’s better to live his way.
