He Knows

There are several verses that say God laughs at the wicked.

Psalm 37 contains one of them…

The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.

This type of laughter is one of complete unbelief at the absurdity of the situation.  Imagine a tiny ladybug crawling up your sleeve threatening to topple you over with its legs.  Wouldn’t that be absolutely absurd?  With one flick of your finger you can send that ladybug flying to never return.

How much more does the God we serve send away the wicked with one blast of his nostrils?  That’s why he laughs at their schemes and plans to destroy us.  They have no power over us because we belong to Him.  Their arms are too weak to even stand on His mighty arm that sustains us and provides for us.

If we could only grasp the bigness, the goodness, the righteousness of the God who loves us, we wouldn’t panic when we see with our eyes that it appears he is delaying.   We would laugh along with Him at the absurdity of it all, and that laughter might indeed bring us the healing we’re awaiting!
