Hope laughs

Thought of the day: Fasting hopelessness 

My hope laughs

Laughter is a weapon given to us by God. 

He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting (Job 8:21) 

God laughs at the wicked - because God always has the final word.

"The Lord shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming. ( Ps 37:13)

God causes us to laugh at those who would cause destruction.

"The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him..." (Ps 52:6)

Why would God want us to laugh?

Laughter eliminates fear 

It comes from a loving God who knows laughter defeats the enemy every time. 

In trying times, laughter is faith that sees the promised victory!

God is in charge 

He told Job:

"At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth." (Job 5:22)

"Laughter - uncontrollable joy.

Laughter does a heart Good, like a medicine

When enabled, laughter walks on the wings of the wind . . . upon clouds, and is carried in God’s arms

It is the garment of praise unleashed into a broken world

Laughter is the echo of the vacant grave . . ."- Mabel Andlers
