We don't usually consider the importance of humor in scripture. The Lord tells Abraham, already of advanced years, that he will have a son born of Sarah. Sarah, also aged, overhears their conversation while preparing their meal in the tent and laughs at the absurdity of having a child in her old age. What may be too hard for people to perceive is the grin in that last line. But God enjoys Sarah.
Evidence does show that laughter helps to heal patients.
It plays an important role in all our relationships, both personal and professional. Corporate and even religious organizations are exploring its role in promoting healthy interactions, growth and well-being. Laughter is a sign of faith. It demonstrates our belief that God is in charge. Inc. All rights reserved.
