God's Humor

God has a sense of humor.

I know for years people have tried to make God boring and monotone and stuffy and .... , but the reality is He has a sense of humor. Have you every really read the Bible? His humor is all over the place.

I was reading my Bible this morning during my devotional time with God, and I just had to stop and laugh. In Acts 9:1-31, it tells of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. It just struck me as funny when I was reading through this. God takes the guy most well known in the area as a murderer and persecutor of the Way, and converts him on his way to bring punishment and pain to the church in Damascus. When he gets there, he is blind, can't fight, can only pray. God then takes one of the very people that Saul was on his way to arrest, and brings him to Saul and has him pray for him and heal him.

As Saul can see, he immediately goes out into the town and instead of arresting and persecuting everyone, he starts to preach the Good News. No one is sure what to do with him. It's amazing, awe inspiring, and hilarious all at the same time.

God's timing is always perfect. If God can reach Saul, who later became Paul, for His kingdom, I don't think we should ever give up hope that the people in our lives, no matter how hard they may fight and resist the truth, will someday have an unshakeable faith in the One True God.

Have an awesome day, and please smile and at least laugh once today.

God bless!!
