I was washing my car one evening as the sun was preparing to kiss the earth goodnight. Glancing up, I impulsively pointed the hose at it as if to extinguish its flames. The absurdity of my action hit me, and I laughed. Then I thought of God's laughter in Psalm 2. Wicked nations were plotting to overthrow God's anointed,thus ultimately opposing the Almighty Himself. but He sits in the heavens, calm and unthreatened. Man's boldest efforts to oppose such awesome power in ludicrous. The almighty doesn't even rise from His throne; He just laughs in derision. But is this a heartless or cruel laughter?

Trying to determine what God's actions mean can be such a tough thing! In the passage you mention, it's almost as though God is laughing because he ultimately knows that the wicked will not succeed. Kind of like the bully laughing at the wimp on the playground. Maybe that was a bad analogy, but that's how I see it. I totally believe that God has a sense of humor. Almost like he plays us to see how we will react. For instance, my husband and I just had our first child 5 months ago. I had told God when younger that I wanted to have my first child by the time I was 27. Over 2 years ago, my husband and I decided to start trying to have a baby, with no luck. It took a year and a half before we finally got pregnant. The irony of this all is that my son's due date was 4 1/2 months before my 27th birthday. I finally remembered what I had told God half way through my pregnancy and just had to laugh. I could just see God sitting in heaven with a smirk on his face.

How can you make the source of all laughter laugh, what could possibly catch God off-guard.I think it's us, all of us, we're the facets of God,every last soul and what we go through reports right back to him/her/it.Good post,thanks!
