“Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” (Genesis 21:6)
Consider for a moment were Sarah was at this point in her life. God had just fulfilled his promise to Sarah and Abraham to provide the heir through which their descendents would be as “numerous as grains of sand”.
Before this, all was beyond hope for them. That part of the promise or covenant with God appeared to be unattainable.
With Sarah, conceiving and giving birth to their son Isaac in their old age; the impossible became possible. Sarah was absolutely dumbfounded. Her only response was to laugh in amazment.
All that God had done for them was beyond their own doing. It was a gift totally from God.
Now, consider how God has worked in your life. You have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe and have been granted eternal salvation through none of your own doing. A gift, freely given without reservation.
What can our response be but utter amazment, or joy, even laughter. God loves you and cares for you. He is faithful and committed to that personal relationship with you.
“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” (1 Peter 1:8)
Why don’t you just laugh out loud from time to time. Others will laugh with you. LOL…
