I
have this little devotional that I read everyday it is called, “God's
word for today.” They have them at my church, and the little books
last about three months. I just thought that I would share today's
with you, because I love to laugh, and hear others laugh also.
Laughter
Read
Genesis 19:1 through 21:34
Typically,
laughter is a favorite sound for most of us. It is usually associated
with happiness and good times. However, it can mean so much more.
Laughter
is an interesting physical response. Abraham fell down and laughed
when God promised a son in his old age (Genesis 17:17). Sarah laughed
to herself when she overheard that she would have a child at the age
of ninety (Genesis 18:12).
Laughter
often comes from surprise and possibly temporary unbelief, as it did
with Abraham and Sarah. It also comes from having faith in God’s
promise and experiencing the joy of that promise fulfilled.
Sarah
said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about
this will laugh with me” (Genesis 21:6).
This
elderly couple laughed all the way to the nursery as God sent them
what He promised. God commanded the child be called Isaac, which
means laughter. Joyfully acknowledge God, for He always fulfills His
promises.
Thought
for Today: One stated, “God said, I believe it, that settles it.”
Another replied, “God said it, that settles it, whether I believe
it or not.”
Quicklook:
Genesis 21:1–7
…............Much Love
