God Does Not have a Sense of Humor

Nowhere in Scriptures do we read of Yahweh making fun of someone to get a laugh, cracking a joke, pulling a prank, using sarcasm, slapping his knee in laughter or any other jovial actions.  A sense of humor is defined as a "personality that gives someone the ability to say funny things and see the funny side of things".  Read Scriptures and we learn there are no 'funny side of things'.

 

In Numbers 14 we read that Yahweh is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression but by no means will He leave the guilty unpunished.  Exodus 24 tells us He is merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.

 

Yahweh takes His Creation seriously, and so should we.  Abiding in His Love brings joy into our own lives, peace into our hearts and laughter and joy to our soul, when not only do we see His Creation but also understand it.  Our prayers become a pleasing aroma to our Creator.

 

Folks who like to say God has a sense of humor seem only to be justifying their own behaviors, whether right or wrong.  It is the same as saying "that's not what it means to me" or "God knows what's in my heart".  These are just verbal bandages.

Seeing the humor in a situation helps us mere humans get through some trying times and I am certain our heavenly Father has shook His head from time to time at some of our predicaments but lets not belittle Him saying He has a sense of humor just to cover our own actions.
