Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”
Genesis 17 v 17

Those who live by faith and not only by reason and sight obtain children by promise, land by promise and a Saviour or Messiah by promise. The serpent leader makes things look bleak when the promise takes time to be fulfilled. He casts doubt in our minds that it is too difficult or impossible thing to fulfill even by the Almighty. Even Abraham, the father of faith and the father by faith, erred in disbelieving that it is possible for Jehovah to give him a son at the ripe old age of a hundred years with his wife at ninety. Many of the big milestones we are looking for in our lives, the serpent leader will make it look like illusions to our mind.

Though Abraham laughed out of disbelief when he heard the promise of a son, God with His sense of humour, asked him to name his son to be born of promise, Isaac or laughter. Indeed, when God has the last word in our lives, we can have the last laugh. The birth of a son and an heir to Abraham and Sarah became a cause of much laughter in their household. Likewise, when the Lord makes His tabernacle in our hearts, we will hear the voice of laughter in our lives, we will be the recipient of much good news, whether it is children by promise, land or possessions by promise and of course, the personal Saviour by promise. Good news is accompanied by laughter and the good news of our personal salvation is to be accompanied by much laughter. The serpent leader wants us to grieve, mourn, weep, moan, lament, be sad, worried and depressed but the Servant Leader Jesus wants us to rejoice again and again, to be cheerful, happy, glad. Laughter Is not just the best medicine but it is to be our daily diet.

When we laugh, the enemy, the serpent leader is sad, depressed, feels defeated. When we are joyful, we stay healthy, live long, we are creative and productive. We are grateful to the Lord for His many blessings and always thank and praise Him. Our faith keeps expanding and we leave no scope for bitter words or memories or thoughts to grip our hearts. The ultimate cause of the laughter in our lives is the Servant Leader. We can laugh at death, at curses, at the powers of darkness. With God in our lives and Jesus in our hearts, the impossible is inevitable, the difficult is easy to visualize or imagine. We can laugh in the midst of troubles and difficult circumstances, while we are waiting for the fulfilment of the promise of God, for the inevitable impossible to happen, the difficult to be resolved. We need not fall down on our faces and laugh like Abraham and Sarah but we can laugh out loud or LOL.
