A Time to Laugh - Clayton D Steep - May 1980

Clayton D Steep

Do you picture God as a cold, frowning Judge always-on the verge of anger? You shouldn't - God is the very Creator of humor. God created the smile. So He knows how to smile. He created laughter. So He knows how to laugh. In fact, the Bible says our Maker is the "happy" God (I Tim. 1:11 - the Greek word translated "blessed" is makarios, which is just as correctly translated "happy" ). In God's presence is " fulness of joy"(Ps. 16:11), and laughter is one way joy can be expressed. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
