“He who sits
in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision.” Psalm 2:4
Sadness,
sorrow and regret are inconsistent with the life that God has given to you in
Christ. You were born into a life of unending joy, victory and advantage, thus
laughter ought to be an integral part of your daily routine. People who don’t
laugh are usually weighed down by the cares of this world. They believe life is
“serious business” and as such, they hardly find any reason to smile, let alone
laugh. But laughter is therapeutic as well as spiritual. That’s why the Bible
says, “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the
bones” (Proverbs 17:22). Why wouldn’t you laugh when you know that you’re more
than a conqueror? Why shouldn’t you laugh when you know that all things work
together for your good?
It doesn’t
matter what comes against you in life, learn to laugh your way to victory.
Refuse to allow circumstances dictate your happiness. The opening Scripture
shows us that God laughs at the ranting of His enemies. Like your heavenly
Father, learn to laugh the enemy to scorn when he starts throwing his tantrums
at you. When tough times come, that’s the time to laugh, for there’s absolutely
nothing the enemy could do to harm you.
No wonder
the Apostle James admonished that you “…count it all joy when you fall into
various trials” (James 1:2). If you’ve been facing trying times, I recommend to
you “laughing sessions.” Refuse to allow the circumstances of life control your
happiness; laugh your way to victory.
