What makes God Laugh?
Speaker: Craig Carter | Series: What makes God: | God laughs when…
1) We make our own plans
Why are the people making useless plans? But the one who sits in heaven laughs… (Psalm 2:1b, 4a NCV)
Be smart and pay close attention. Serve and honor the Lord; be glad and tremble…He blesses and protects everyone who runs to him. (Psalm 2:10-12 CEV)
2) The forces of sin and evil think they are winning
Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong…but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. (Psalm 37:1, 13 NIV)
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him…Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. (Psalm 37:5, 7, 9 NIV)
3) The Enemy attacks His people
God, save me from my enemies. Protect me from those who attack me…But, Lord, you laugh at them; you make fun of all of them. (Psalm 59:1, 8 NCV)
God, my strength, I am looking to you…My God loves me, and he goes in front of me. He will help me defeat my enemies. You are my defender, my place of safety in times of trouble. God, my strength, I will sing praises to you. God, my defender, you are the God who loves me. (Psalm 59:9-10, 16-17 NCV)
