I\u2019d love to be that woman! Imagine, no fear, just laughing about what\u2019s coming next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, we live in times that could make anyone bite their nails down to the cuticles. But I still believe God wants us to laugh, even now. And the key to that comes a little later in Proverbs, where it says this woman \u201cfears the Lord.\u201d Turns out, it\u2019s that trust in God that sets her free to laugh without worrying about what\u2019s ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there&#8217;s Kamala Harris &#8212; whether you\u2019re a fan or not, we can all agree the woman knows how to laugh! People get ruffled by her giggles, but here\u2019s the thing: maybe she\u2019s onto something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I can&#8217;t speak for her, maybe her laughter is her own way of &#8220;laughing about the future.&#8221; In a world that\u2019s constantly throwing curveballs, why not deflect a few with a good chuckle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, we could all use a little more laughter. Not the nervous kind that hides fear, but the deep, joyful kind that says, \u201cI\u2019m trusting in Someone bigger than the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what it means to fear the Lord &#8212; not being afraid of Him but standing in awe of His majesty and love. And when we do that, we realize God holds our future, and suddenly, the urge to laugh comes naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s be laughers instead of dreaders. Let\u2019s stand in awe of God, trust in His steadfast love, and remember that He\u2019s got us &#8212; and everything else &#8212; covered. It\u2019s no wonder we can LOL about it all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, \u201cThe Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His steadfast love.\u201d (Psalm 147:11)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a woman in the Bible who\u2019s described as \u201cclothed with strength and dignity,\u201d and here\u2019s the part I love &#8212; she \u201claughs without fear of the future.\u201d (Proverbs 31:25).
