Are You Serious?

I’m not. I’d go so far as to say I am kidding, joking, or clowning 40% of the time. Have I offended you? I’m sorry. Humor is my backbone. I cannot be serious for very long, perhaps not long enough. But humor keeps me from worrying, doubting, judging, misunderstanding, fearing, hating, back-biting, gossiping, crying, and hiding. There are a lot of things in there that displease God. Sometimes the humor creeps out at inopportune times, but don’t those other things creep around at inopportune times as well? What if we laughed every time we came under an attack from the enemy? Wouldn’t that be pleasing to God? Couldn’t that be evidence of things not seen; evidence of trusting that God is Faithful? FAITH is laughing; not worrying, doubting, judging, misunderstanding, fearing, hating, back-biting, gossiping, crying, and hiding. I rejoice in the fact that God, Himself, has a sense of humor. Don’t you?
