A Gift of Laughter
Psalms 100 (MSG) 1-2 On your feet now—applaud GOD!
Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into his presence.
3 Know this: GOD is God, and God, GOD.
He made us; we didn’t make him.
We’re his people, his well-tended sheep.
4 Enter with the password: “Thank you!”
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.
5 For GOD is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.
I know this doesn’t sound the least bit familiar. “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands” is what comes to mind when we think Psalm 100. But isn’t this a great paraphrase?When we enter into the presence of the One, True and Living God what better way to show Him our love than to bring a gift of laughter!
We are invited into the presence of the One who created us and told to make ourselves at home. Can you think of a better way to be in relationship with our Father than to laugh with Him?
This world is not my home, but I know, believe and understand that in my Father’s house are many mansions, and one day He will call me home. And in that moment I will be united with the One who died for me and my joy will bubble over and my laughter will fill the rooms.
May we remember to laugh because God is good, and because laughter is a gift from God and that is the only reason we need.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
