Yesterday I admitted that I personally believe God has a sense of humor. I know I have proof of that in my life. I think I can (to an extent) find proof of that in the Scriptures also.
Numbers 22:21-35 tells the story of Balaam and his donkey. Balaam was heading into danger and the donkey sensed the angel of the LORD in the pathway and tried to stop the prophet from continuing.
Think about that. Balaam’s donkey recognized the presence of the LORD, even though the prophet did not. It wasn’t until God allowed the donkey to talk that Balaam realized the danger he was in.
The dialogue in verses 28-29 always makes me laugh. “Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, ‘What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?’ Balaam answered the donkey ….”
Balaam and a donkey carrying on a conversation as if it is an everyday occurrence. In my mind that tells me God has a sense of humor.
At times, as I sit quietly in the Presence of the LORD, I can almost hear the joy and accompanying laughter of heaven.
