“The Lord laughs” or “the Lord scoffs” at the wicked, it is not a laugh of amusement in the human sense. Instead, it is a holy, sovereign response that reveals God’s justice, power, and certainty over evil.
Psalm 37:13 ERV: But our Lord will laugh at them. He will make sure they get what they deserve. “God’s laughter is not mockery but sovereign assurance. He sees the end of every scheme and knows the timetable of justice, so the temporary success of the wicked does not unsettle Him. That truth frees us from envy and anxious striving: we are invited to trust God’s timing, keep doing what is right, and rest in His steady rule. Rather than celebrating another’s fall, the psalm calls us to patient faithfulness and to leave final judgment in God’s hands. He remains at peace even in chaos. I want to learn that from God.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, thank You that nothing is hidden from You and that Your justice is sure. Give me patience to trust Your timing, courage to live righteously, and a heart that refuses revenge. Keep me humble in prosperity and steady in trial, resting in Your sovereign care. I really need this verse in the bible today. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your precious Name Amen.
