GOD’S LITTLE JOKE
A small group of women were standing in a circle at Gail’s
house, about to close the meeting of the Cape
Croker United Church Women’s Bible Study with prayer. Lizz’s toddler Beverlee roamed around the
living room, waiting for Mommy to take her home for lunch. Someone asked a question about how God speaks
to us: does He thunder out His will, invade our thoughts, speak quietly within,
or what? The discussion delayed our
closing, as people gave their opinions, experiences and Scriptures. The question hung in the air.
Just then, a booming voice coming
from right behind us made us all jump.
Beverlee had inadvertently leaned against the power button on the big
stereo, which was at full volume.
And you say the Lord has no sense of
humour? Sometimes we are too serious for
our own good.
A happy heart is good medicine, and a
cheerful mind works healing…(Proverbs 17:22, Amplified)
…for the joy of the Lord is your
strength. (Nehemiah 8:10 NIV)
Loved the story, Frances. If we have a sense of humour, and love to laugh we can be sure God's is greater than ours. How he must chuckle a lot at our efforts and antics.
