These past few weeks have been quite difficult for so many of you that the ''pray with ceasing" scripture has been easy to follow. Through all the troubles, tests and trials has it been hard for you to find anything to smile about let alone laugh? Believe me, I can relate!
However, although I can sympathize (and empathize), God's way of doing things somehow always causes me to look at things differently, and yes at times, even makes me laugh!
"God made me laugh."
In your quiet time have you ever found things you can laugh about with the Lord? Try it ... it won’t be as difficult as you think, trust me.
In my Bible study time I found some things that, in my eyes, God must have seen as "humorous" from His perspective. Maybe not, but I sure did, especially because they connected with me in some way.
Scripture teaches in Genesis 21:6 of a time where God caused Sarah to laugh when He did a miracle in her life. Sarah had longed to have a child of her own and even though she was up in years, the desire never went away or stopped being part of her dream of being a mother. Not having children myself, her situation was easy to understand having had simular prayers for a child along my own journey.
Everyone thought it was crazy for her to have a child at age 90, but not God and He gave her the desire of her heart ... it just took a looooooong time!
"And Sarah declared, God has brought me laughter (her son Isaac). All who hear about this will laugh with me."
If Jehovah was not laughing at how ridiculous this looked to mankind, surely He had a huge smile on His face. After all, what would be your reaction to seeing a 90 year old woman carrying her first born? I know, pretty amazing! No wonder her tears from trialsome times turned into laugher!
Now God could have given her that child when she was younger, but He didn’t. Sarah had to trust God at His word and stay in faith during difficult times before she saw her breakthrough miracle.
I imagine there were some "belly" laughs going on don’t you think when the big even finally took place?
Terrible to Terrific
There was another passage (2 Kings 6:1-7) where I can picture all the "boys" gathered when something strange took place.
The story begins with Elisha and the prophets gathered by the Jordan River because it was a larger area for prayer and meetings. This new location would be perfect, so they assembled with tools in hand to begin cutting down trees to create a log area for sitting.
Suddenly as one man was chopping, his ax head flew off and landed in the water! I know that situation probably wasn't funny at the time, but the way I envision this happening, it must have been a sight to see the ax head flying off the handle and through the air into the river.
I can picture the men watching and their heads follow the action as the ax head soars up into the air and crashes down into the river sinking with a big splash!
In desperation the man cutting the tree yelled to Elisha, "Oh Sir, it was a borrowed ax!" In other words, "Oh no!!! Do something! I will have to pay for that!"
Can you picture this ... Elisha takes a deep breath, then walks over to the man. Ok ... calm down.
This is what really happened.
Elisha asked, "Where did it fall?" When the man pointed to the place, Elisha then cut a stick and tossed it into the water at the exact spot the man showed him.
Immediately, the ax head floated to the surface and Elisha shouted, "Grab it." The man reached out into the water and grabbed the ax head that was borrowed!"
What a relief that man must have felt when the ax was retrieved, and what extraordinary favor in the way it happened! After the fact and perhaps years down the road, the story of the floating ax head told by this man probably incorporated a bit of laughter.
There is always going to be something that challenges and tests our faith, yet in the midst of those events God provides a way out with unusual opportunities where He shouts - "Here, grab it." In other words God is saying - trust Me, here is the answer, grab hold of it by faith before it slips away and is gone!
Laugh at yourself.
With so much negativity going on in the world and things not working out as planned I know it can be hard to laugh at the simple, so called "dumb" things we do that really don't make that much difference. We tend to take things to heart a little more than usual, but that is when we need to do exactly the opposite of how we are feeling. In fact, we need to learn not to take everything so seriously and laugh at ourselves even during difficult times.
A few weeks ago we found ourselves having our own tool mishap. Our beloved KC kitty was having another asthma attack. We administed her medicines and tried the inhaler but nothing was working this time. Hubby did mouth to mouth as I held her, but her tiny body did not respond and she went to Jesus in my arms almost immediately.
Hubby was experiencing pain from kidney stones again and was not up to what he needed to do for our sweet girl. The weather was brutal, cold and snowy with the ground frozen solid. For days we worked the land trying to dig a final resting place for KC. Losing daylight I held a flashlight for hubby as he dug and dug to no avail.
Suddenly the shovel broke and the end flew across the yard. We watched as it went into the air landing away from the dig site. Okay, it was dark ... but it went somewhere!
Turning to one another we began laughing ... now what are we going to do? ...oh Elisha ...
No, the situation did not change - it was a sad time with difficult circumstances, but our attitudes did and God worked everything out for our favor including Hubby passing a kidney stone and not needing surgery.
So,what is the point I am trying to make?
The lessons we can learn from Sarah and the prophet's ax head are that God does care about all the details, small or large, He is aware of our circumstances and in the midst of trouble God is always there with answers, even though they may seem strange, unlikely, impossible or humorous.
If we truly trust God and bring our cares to Him, He may provide or supply our need in surprising unusual ways of favor. Somewhere in it all there is something that will cause us to smile or laugh; not at the problem, but because God will come through with the solution and it might cause you to break out in laughter!
In the beginning there was unbelief, but in the end Sarah found laughter and new joy. The awkward flying ax story changed from a terrible unfortunate accident to a terrific impossible event that turned the prophet's crying into leaps of thankful joy.
The psalmist reminds us of God's promise when he triumphed over his enemies:
"Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones! Praise His Holy name. For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning." (Psalm 30:4-5 NLT)
I do not know what you may be experiencing at this time, but encourage you not to give up on God - joy is coming! He holds nothing good back from you and is your hope of favor when faith seems weak.
"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows (unique) favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless." (Psalm 84:11)
Like the anointed worship leader Don Moen wrote in an amazing song, "God will make a way, when there seems to be no way."
Believe God will do something new that will help you get through whatever it is by granting His unique favor to your situation as He did with Sarah and the perplexed prophet.
He will make a pathway to victory that you did not expect; it will cause joy and laughing to your spirit, soul and body. Then you will proclaim like Sarah, "God made me laugh!"
Until next time, favored blessings!
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-17)
Read Psalm 30 and Isaiah 43 promise for victory to a believer.
Maybe you don’t know the Living God that I know, but would like to have this kind of favor in your life also.Click on the above tab “Tell Me About Jesus” for more information on becoming a child of the Savior.

as he leaned over my shoulder.
“Stop
it!I already wrote about you last week,
besides you’re developing cat like tendencies.”
I declared as I finished washing the dishes from the evening cat feeding.
“I
can’t help it, you smell good. You could write a reprise and call it Aroma Revisited.”
“No!”
Little did he know that I had already cooked
something up about him in this week’s post; but he didn’t quit and kept giving
me more verbal ammunition.You would
have thought he knew better living with a writer!

The Great Stare Down
Jazz on one of his thousand's of stares!
It was early evening when I sat down
to actually compile my article.Dinner
was finished and the house was settling so I could get some work done.Well that was the plan anyway.
A few minutes later my husband came into
the living room and sat on the couch leaning forward as if he didn’t plan on
staying.He was in a playful mood.Right then I knew he was up to something.
Hubby thought it would be funny to get
in on the action. It was a stare down between him and Jazzbo our cat. (He named
him that.)Both of them were staring at
me trying to break down my composure.
There he goes again ...
No matter where I am in the house,
Jazz stares at me.Over the years I’ve
taken on the staring contest with him, but he always wins.What timing for my husband to reduce his status
to alpha feline.
The two of them were freaking me out;
and then there was Quiggley kitten.In
the background Quiggs was belting out a high pitched squeal letting everyone
know he’s in the potty.Why?I haven’t a clue.He’s the only rescue that has ever done this - every time!
He Was Right
“You’re
smiling, you must be writing something about me.I can tell.”
Hubby said as he watched me type.
Pausing I sat back in my chair and waited
expecting his next comment to be “can I sniff you” just to get me riled up
while trying to write.
“Before
you get too involved can I ask you another question?”
“What?”
I said sternly.
“Can I
sniff you?” Laughing he got up
and went into the kitchen.
“Oh,
forget it.” I said as Jazz
danced across the keyboard.
A few minutes later I got up to make a
cup of Swiss Mocha coffee. I'm normally a tea girl, but not that night! Now hubby was
sitting at the kitchen table reading the mail, when he began talking to Victory
(the rescue cat that was shot) who entered the room.
“Vic,
come over here.That’s hot water; I should
know, I’m in it enough.”
… and he wonders why he gets in
trouble.Why did I ever write that post?I set myself up for this … I should have
realized that knowing my husband’s personality and humor.
He was right though … I was writing
about him.
How Many Doors Are There?
It all started on Saturday when my
compassion lacked a few levels of humility.He was having an off day and things just weren’t going right for him.
I know the Bible teaches a lot on
doors, but I don’t think this is what the Holy Spirit had in mind when He inspired
the writers.
Enter Door #1
The afternoon was wearing on and it
was time for the nightly feeding of the animals.I prepare the food in one room and then
distribute it on trays, bowls or plates depending on the individual need of the
animal.We feed them in three different
areas, so it takes a while to get through the routine.
I had already delivered a tray to one
place when I realized Jazz wasn’t eating.Jazz lives with a disorder that affects his eating habits and we often
have to switch foods in mid-stream. This meant he needed something else, so I
called out for my husband to bring me a specific can of food.
Not being able to slide it through the
tray slot, he had to open the door slightly to pass the can to me.Using my leg to block the cats from getting
out, I snagged the can and pulled the door back quickly pinching his fingers as
it shut.
Using his baritone voice he let me
know what happened. I felt bad and apologized umpteen times.
… Approaching Door #2
Returning to the feeding center he
banged his elbow on the pantry door he left open when he retrieved the can of
cat food.From a distance I could hear
the sound of a tenor vocalizing the pain that shot through hubby’s arm.
… Shall We Go for Door #3
I was still in the back room when he
came around the corner to use the restroom.As he entered he hit his head and nose on the edge of the door.
Watching it happen I couldn’t help but
laugh.I know … what a compassionate
wife, right?I wasn’t laughing because
he was hurt or anything, but seriously, how could that even happen I
thought?
There was no shame … his yelping cry switched
to a female high soprano.Holding his
head the only thing he had to say was, “How
many doors are there?”
A Glimmer of Hope
There were still a few hours of
daylight so I decided to bake a gluten free cake and cupcakes for my husband to
brighten his spirit.You thought the
same thing he did … he loves his gluten!
I had just taken the last batch out of
the toaster oven when we lost the electric.With no dinner made we improvised and ate cake … of course!
With everyone fed we were back in our
own living room … where he first started out on the sofa. Hubby was finally relaxing nicely and away
from all the doors.It was so calming
watching the glimmer of the flameless candles … (I didn’t say it was romantic, just
in the moment.)
There wasn’t anything else to do, and
not having the electric I couldn’t continue working on the computer.I decided to join my husband on the couch to
rest until the electric problem was fixed.
With my eyes closed I could hear the
storm gaining ground as it came closer to our street.Hubby was gently stroking one of the cats he
was holding on his lap, when a big clap of thunder resounded causing her to
jump three feet in the air.It spooked
her and in the landing she plunged her nails deep into his chest and thumb.
Sitting up with a jolt I asked him
what happened.As he shared his plight I
tried to hold back my laughter, but once again couldn’t. What’s wrong with me?
Holding up his boo-boo for me to see,
as he gripped his thumb tightly I said to myself, “Ooo, that’s gotta hurt.”I really did have compassion for him this time,
but thought back on the rest of the things that happened to him that day.
Was he overtired or something that
would cause his steady pace to be a little off balance?You have to admit, it was a bit strange.If he’s said this once, he’s said it a
zillion times …
“I was
just sitting here. I wasn’t waiting to get injured.”
Disturbing the Peace
It would be several hours before we
had electric and it was far past bedtime.Entering the bedroom he glanced over at the dresser and saw the radio
clock flashing.The alarm clock is his
and I have no idea how to set it, so he naturally went about the task.
After setting the time he thought he
had everything else back to the proper mode; that was until a few minutes later
when the alarm sounded.By now he was
tired and frustrated.Not being able to
figure out how to get it off the “nap” setting he set the clock for fifteen
minutes.
That radio came close to going out the
window. It would take almost an hour before everything stopped buzzing,
flashing or beeping.
Finally getting the alarm off I handed
my husband a barrette to put in a container on the dresser.Not knowing how it should be positioned he
asked, “Like this?”
Not being able to see what he was
doing since he was standing in front of the container I replied, “I don’t know, I can’t see through you.”
I guess that wasn’t the best thing to
say even in jest at that time, because I sensed it disturbed him a tad (an understatement I’m
sure).With a raised brow he looked at
me and held up his hand.In a sarcastic
tone he answered, “Peace, Shalom to you
too!” before walking out of the room.
What a day for hubby … and for those
who had to witness it.
Non-Traditional Favor
When I first set out to gift my honey,
“roasting” him was to serve as the main dish for Father’s Day knowing the kick
he would get out if it. Plus it’s an
opportunity to let others know what a good sport he is, especially since I’m
usually the one being roasted by him.
Not having children my husband and I
celebrate the holiday’s that revolve around parenting somewhat differently than
most. It’s true that throughout the Word traditionally we read how couples were
given favor of having an open womb to bear children for the glory of God after
spending time in prayer.However, not
everyone has that prayer answered and in those cases non-traditional favor is
warranted to those who love and faithfully serve the Lord.
On those “special” designated
holidays, my husband and I laugh, have fun and enjoy the fact that God grants
favor in different ways to couples who haven’t been blessed with kids.
It may be hard to fathom how couples
without children can live a full life in the Lord, but they can.Just as parents have their quiver’s full, we
are blessed in the fullness of other promises from God with some referring to us as the
Isaiah 54 bunch.
If you happen to be among those who
are without child(ren), be not dismayed … God has a place of favor set aside
just for you.
This Week’s Challenge:
Give Honor & Favor to Godly Men
Even though much of America will be
celebrating Father’s Day this weekend, we don’t want to overlook the blessing
of having godly men in our lives no matter where we live.
Our challenge this week is to give favor
and honor to all Christian men who have influenced the young, regardless of
whether or not they have fathered a child.We’ll do that by participating in these four things.
1 – Pray.The number one thing anyone can do for their
family is to pray over the male members in the household.Begin praying for your sons, nephews and
cousins while they are children because one day they will be leaders in their
families.
Ask the Lord to guide them in all
wisdom, knowledge and understanding.Pray
that the grace of God will direct and keep them from sin as they serve Him and
their family.
2 – Encourage through Support.Any man will tell you that something they
desire from their spouse is to be supported through encouraging words.
“Let no corrupting talk come out of your
mouths, but only such
as is good for building up, as fits the
occasion,
that it may give grace to those who hear.” (Ephesians
4:29)
If you aren’t in the habit of praising
your husband for the good works he has done for God, your family and others,
start doing it now.
God honors those behaviors with His
favor, and your family benefits from his actions.
“He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, but trouble will come to
him who seeks evil.” (Proverbs 11:27 NKJV)
“A good man
obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked
intentions He will condemn.” (Proverbs 12:2
NKJV)
3 – Be Good to Him.It’s easy to get along when you agree with
your loved ones, but what about the times when you don’t?Be good to him anyway showing loving kindness
and favor as Christ has shown you.
“An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he
will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her
life.”
(Proverbs 31:10–12 NKJV)
4 – Go ahead and make that
special roast (or meal) for your "honey", but this time use meat! (Not like the roasting I did here.)
I’d like to close the door gently on
this “chapter” in our life.My husband
may not be a parent, but in a godly manner he has mentored both men and boys
who have become fathers. For that I
thank God, and with love and due honor give him high esteem and favor.
“My son,
do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for
length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.
Let not mercy and truth forsake you;; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet
of your heart, and so find
favor
Maybe
you don’t know the Living God that I know, but would like to have this kind of
favor in your life also.Click on the

Scripture
references provided by Gateway Bible in the New King James Bible Version or as
noted.
For the past few weeks a few things have been stuck in
my thinking. I thought perhaps the Lord
was trying to get something amazing across and lavish me with His favor for
spending more time with Him.
It got intense a few days and I
just wouldn’t let it go. Thoughts of healing, hope and the heart were subjects
I was dwelling on, but through it all God was showing me something I didn’t expect.He wanted me to lighten up, take a time out
and give it a rest!
We get so tied up in the
struggles of this world that there doesn’t seem to be a time to find humor in
anything.When that happens, it’s a sign
that we haven’t trusted God, and we are casting all our cares on our shoulders
instead of His.
OK Lord, I got the point.
There’s a remedy for this
according to scripture.Contrary to what
some people may have been taught God does have a sense of humor.I can prove it; take a look at cats!
Welcome new friends this week
from: (the USA) Tennessee,
Virginia, New Jersey and Portugal, India, UK and Malaysia.
There was something “funny” going on this week.Did you feel it? Our Inward Journey is about
to get brighter.Keep praying for your
brothers and sisters of faith following Daily Favor from around the globe.
Don’t miss out on this week’s challenge
(below).Q & A Section
Been Doing It
Apparently we took a new approach
in the way we “do” things without realizing. This may seem a little out of
season so I’ll have to explain.Let’s go
back in time to 2009.
We have gone from setting up a 9+
foot tree to a small 4 foot tall Christmas tree ever since we began caring for
pets with special needs.The tree we use
now can easily be moved from one area to another and doesn’t have any breakable
ornaments on it (no hooks either).
The tree was resting on a small
table and placed in another room every time we left the house.In 2009 the Christmas tree wasn’t displayed until
a few days before the holiday.Not being
able to enjoy it for that long, I decided to take it down at the end of January
(2010).
Due to my mom’s home going we
were called out of town, and would be gone for several weeks due to a blizzard.
(see here)
Being backlogged with work upon
our return home, the tree remained in the bedroom on a dresser.For the next three months we had round the
clock care for my diabetic dog, so the tree stayed in place.
During that time I began using it
as a nightlight.I rather liked the soft
white twinkle lights.Most of my writing
is at night, so it was nice to be able to see without using a flashlight.The tree didn’t bother me at all.
It Looks Weird
Here it is four years later and
the tree was still on the dresser.That
is until last night.Zoe is a 3 year old
kitty that is undergoing medical attention for about 10 months.
She got into the bedroom and played demolition
on the tree, causing it to flip flop onto a space heater on the floor.
I was working at the time when I
heard this crash, but didn’t know what it was.As I rounded the corner I saw three little contributors (Zoe, Izzy &
Yancy) scatter.
When I saw the tree dangling from
the cord all I could do was burst into laughter. Summoning my husband to come
take a look I asked him to grab the camera on his way into the room.By the time he got there the accused were nowhere
to be found.
I had already decided it was time
to take down the tree and actually get a small lamp.Zoe was helping me keep my commitment or
should I say, she helped put my plan into action by rushing things along.How kind of her!
Last night when I went to bed it
just looked weird … all that space.You
can even see the wall now.
Topsy Turvy
Seeing the tree in its topsy turvy
state reminds me of how my life has felt at times when nothing seems to be
going right.Finding the humor in the
situation was healing to both my husband and me.
All the tension of the day
drained from us and we let the comical side emerge.Humor ministered to our souls.
Caring Less
The Bible says that having a cheerful
heart (laughter and a good attitude) does a body good as if it were taking
medicine for healing, and indeed it was just that last night.
“A cheerful heart is
good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.” (Proverbs 17:22 NLT)
People get so serious that we sap
the life out of all that is around us.By doing this, we go against God because we aren’t acting in faith.
If you’re having a tough time of
things right now, look at a cat. They really take the Word of God seriously and
could “care less” about what’s going on around them.To “care less” is to have less care, because they
have no fear. Basically that’s the root of scripture isn’t it?
Don’t get caring less confused
with carelessness or not caring, and I’m not saying pets aren’t concerned about
their owners.What I am saying is that
they don’t care about material things of this world.
Zoe wasn’t a bit interested in
the cost of the tree or whether it would damage anything if it fell.Actually, the only thing that I’ve noticed
she values is her relationships and isn’t that what we should value also?
Our inward journey should be concentrating
on how our relationship with God stands.Have you ever talked to God about the funny side of His world?I’ve often wondered about it, and have spoken
to Him with some of my ponderings.
Many people think of God as being
this stuffy, bossy Deity that only wants to thrust punishment on those who get
out of line.If we studied the Bible we
would realize that’s not how He operates at all.
As a matter of fact, we know He
does have a fun side because He has attended a few parties and festivals that
have been recorded.I’ve often wondered
if He laughed when He caused the donkey to speak or at some of the names Adam
called the animals.
How funny was it that Jesus told
His disciple to go get the tax money out of a fish’s mouth?Can you think of some things that He did that
must have freaked people out, from the conversations we read in the Bible?
Does He ever call the angels over
and say, “Hey, watch this.” as He does the extraordinary?In my opinion, He has set the humor radar
high when it comes to the life of a cat.
I suppose the moral of my lesson
is:
"Never put off until tomorrow what a cat can take care of today."
–Favored1
This week’s
challenge:
Find humor in the
little things and relax. Laugh a little!
Laugh with God.
In your quiet
time find things you can laugh about with the Lord. It won’t be as difficult as
you think, trust me.
"God made me laugh."
Genesis 21:6 tells of a time where God caused Sarah to
laugh when He did a miracle in her life.Everyone else thought it was crazy for her to have a child at age 90,
but not God.
Now He could have given her
that child when she was younger, but didn’t.I imagine there were some belly laughs going on don’t you think?
Laugh at yourself. Learn not to take
everything so seriously. Yesterday morning is an example
of learning to laugh at your own shortcomings.This was a conversation between my husband and me:
Him: “Lily is on the couch.It’s her new morning thing.”
Me: “I’m not avoiding you!” I have no idea what I thought I
heard, but obviously it wasn’t what he said.Our morning began with laughter because it reminded us of what Jeff
Allen had said about his wife. (I put the clip below for you.)
It wasn’t about what he said, but
about what she thought she heard him
say.
Laugh with someone. My husband and I laugh a lot. It’s not
something we planned along our journey, but just happened.
For years I’ve told him he missed his calling
when it comes to making people laugh.I
tell him there’s no excuse, because I give him so much material!
God doesn’t want us stuck on
anything. Frustration, confusion or tension isn’t in His make-up. As we’re working through this
journey it’s important to realize that we’re not going to learn everything at
once.Our time spent with God will
develop day by day, and pressing forth sometimes means stopping to take it all
in for a spell.
Instead of watching those old
reruns or drama programs, take a week off and focus on the humorous side of
life.If you’re not sure where to start,
here are a few clean Christian stand-up comedians that you can watch on You
Tube or rent a DVD from your local library.
I’ve selected seven, which is the
perfect number of God and gave you the links below for you to watch throughout
the week.
If we are to grow closer to the
Lord, we need to learn more about our creator.God is the One who created laughter and our sense of humor, so it stands
to reason that He also lets out a chuckle or two doesn’t it?
What are some things that make
you laugh?Why not share them with the
Lord?After all, He’s the One that
programmed the mind of a cat.Now that’s
funny in itself.
“Then our mouth was
filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the
nations, “the LORD has done great things for them.”(Psalm 126:2 NKJV)
Humor is a gift from the
LORD.Use it for His glory so others may
see the great favor and blessings He has done for you.
Maybe
you don’t know the Living God that I know, but would like to have this kind of
favor in your life also.Click on the
