The God who will make us laugh again

The Lord came to (or “visited“) Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised.

Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age,at the appointed time God had told him…

Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears will laugh with me.” (Genesis 21:1-2, 6)

In this broken world, our lives can be painful.

It was for Sarah who for years longed to have a child but couldn’t.

But in his timing, God “visited” her and blessed her with a child, and she found laughter.

I’m thinking of two people right now. One who is broken by his sin. Another who is broken because of family issues. And so I’m praying for them.

“Father, as you visited Sarah, visit them. Bring them healing. And in your timing, make them laugh again.”

Who are the broken people in your life? Pray for them. And as you can, touch them with God’s love.

Maybe you’re the one who’s broken right now.

Don’t lose hope.

God still loves you. He forgives. He heals. And he always keeps his promises to us.

So keep following and waiting on him. In his timing, you will find laughter again.
