True Comedy

I have a love for Psalms 2. This chapter deals with the world's rebellion. The nations are ragging against God and His rule. When God is confronted by all the hatred, rebellion, and man's accusations- He laughs. He laughs!! If you think about the concept it is rather funny. God spoke, and the world came into existence. Therefore, the next time He speaks He could end that existence. Read the last few chapters of Job and you will realize- man is no match for God.

I had a little taste of this laughter today. A man, full of wisdom and insight, made some obvious accusations against God's character and holiness. I could have become angry and offended. I decided to laugh. The world's wisdom is foolish. What is a fool? A jester. Someone who acts ridiculous and causes you to laugh. I wasn't angry or belittling this man. I was laughing because we are all stupid or foolish in some way or another. We try hard to comprehend the incomprehensible. We try to understand the God of all understanding. We are like a baby trying to drive a car. It is hilarious!
