HOLY LAUGHTER

Today's reading: Psalm 1-2

"But the one who rules in heaven laughs..." Psalm 2:1 NLT

My new yearly planner still crackles when I turn the pages.

The new pen I've chosen to use with it has just had the little plastic tip cover removed.

I've jotted down birthdays, anniversaries, upcoming doctor visits.

I've written in ink some goals I have for myself for the upcoming year.

But then? Then I come across this verse and realize all I have planned, all I want to accomplish, all I have in mind to do--God laughs at.

Because I don't know what today holds, let along tomorrow, next week, next month or the upcoming year!

Here's what I do know--even though God laughs at my plans, He will be with me in all of them. He will. Either leading me into them--or on the other side of them with a lesson, a healing hug or a switch to my backside.

This upcoming year holds not a single solitary second in which He isn't.

That gives me peace. Confidence. Assurance. Hope. Faith.
