God Laughs

 God Laughs

God laughs when we make our plans. 

Unknown to us of where we stand. 

He laughs because He alone knows. 

That it was determined by Him a long time ago.

God laughs when we propose legislation. 

He is the one that oversees all or our deliberations. 

He alone is sovereign over everything we do. 

And He alone is the author of all that is true. 

God laughs when try to tell Him what to do. 

We pray to Him, only to get what we want, according to our view.

And when we encounter roadblocks along the way. 

We didn’t think that it’s because we prayed. 

God laughs but not because He doesn’t love. 

But because He sees all things from above.

He sees the story from beginning to end. 

We see here and now and the rest is very dim. 

In His love for us, He knows we will make a choice. 

That opposes His plan for us, but He lets us have our voice. 

He laughs not to make fun or laugh at our ordeal. 

But because He is patient with us, as we learn His sovereign will.

God laughs at kings and nations who devise their master plan. 

Because He knows that they truly don’t understand. 

That they are not the authors of what happens in the earth. 

He is in control of everything, and has been from the very first. 

So next time you face an obstacle or things don’t go your way. 

Remember it’s not your plan but His that will hold sway. 

Submit to Him and He will bless you abundantly. 

He is simply waiting for you to choose his will  accordingly. 

Yes, God laughs when we think we are in the drivers seat. 

And we figure out in time His sovereignty. 

And soon we stop and pause because we can hear him laugh. 

And we have a conversation about our human gaff.
