Giggle All You Want
APRIL 9, 2026
Daily Reading—Joshua 18-20 / Luke 9:1-27
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 8:53-55 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
People love to laugh. However, occasionally people laugh at what they do not understand. As believers, we are sometimes laughed at for our walk with God. When we give our tithe, stop to pray, and live our lives by faith, those who do not enjoy the indwelling of the Holy Spirit do not understand, so they may laugh.
They laughed at Jesus when He said, “weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.” Why did they laugh? Because they did not understand the power God has even over our most serious enemy, death. There will be a day when all the laughing stops. Until then, we must keep trusting our Lord and winning others to Christ. They may giggle, but Christ is all in all.
