THEY
SHALL LAUGH!
Luke 6:21
21
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that
weep now: for ye shall laugh.
The
word “smile”
appears nowhere in our KJV Bible. However, the word “laugh” appears 18 times in
17 verses. Did the characters in Bible times never smile? I think they did.
A
smile is much more subtle than a laugh. A smile can indicate a variety of
things including deceit. Some smiles include a
contraction of the muscles at the corner of the eyes, an action known as a
"Duchenne smile". Smiles performed without the eye
contraction may be perceived as insincere. Among humans, smiling
is an expression denoting pleasure, sociability, happiness, joy or amusement.
This
old world is not a happy place. Jesus addressed those that wept and
told them that their weeping could be turned into full blown laughter! The
ultimate destination for believers is laughter and joy – uncontained and
overflowing joy!
Ps 30:4-5
4
Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of
his holiness. 5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Dear
Lord, thank you for turning mourning into rejoicing. AMEN
