God’s sense of Humor
Lots of people don’t picture God as having a sense of humor. He does. For proof I offer the following:
- The platypus – no explanation needed
- The koala bear – how can something so cute that you just want to tickle his big fuzzy ears be anti-social and equipped with serious claws
- The Pig – God must have had leftovers and made the pig – how else can you explain why ham is so different from bacon, which is different from pork chops & roast
Kidding aside, God has a sense of humor in my life as well. Many know that I have been dealing with some pretty serious family issues lately. If you don’t know, ask. I’ll email you details.
God’s humor has appeared when I’ve dealt with serious issues in the past as well. Typically, I have to seek His counsel privately before I’m finally broken down and accept the right course. That’s not the funny part, it is serious, difficult, and heart-wrenching. The funny part is that even though this process can take weeks or longer, the minute I’ve made the correct decision, God feels it necessary to give my preacher a message on it for the very next sermon. Not when I’m about to come to the decision, not to help guide me to it, but AFTERWARD. And it’s not just our pastor either, visiting pastors have been included.
I almost laughed when it happened again tonight. I was almost expecting it.
A few years ago, I told my pastor about it, and he thought it was funny as well. He jokingly offered to let me look at his sermon topics ahead of time, but then decided that if that was the way God wanted to deal with me, we should probably just leave it alone.
Good to know that God and I are on the same page at these times – Me and God, we be mates.
