One Narrow Road: God is Fun

After a stressful amount of time, do you find yourself thinking, “Whew! I’m ready for a party!” and wonder when the fun can begin?

I imagine we all grow weary of the built-in, all-around-us, sometimes seemingly-relentless “pounding” that life can bring. We long for times of happy laughter. Regardless of our economic status, physical stature, age, family makeup, life experiences – we tire of the gloom and doom of life.

Last night was a delightful evening of happy laughter and true camaraderie shared with a small group of dear friends. We are all early-morning people, but last night we lingered until one in the morning - visiting, laughing, playing with skin care and glamour, and laughing more. There were times of seriousness and times of absolute hilarity. I can’t remember having that much fun in a long while! No alcohol, no off-color humor, no humor-at-another’s-expense, just a delightful time of joy!

A joyful heart is good medicine.

Proverbs 17:22

Allow me to introduce you to (or remind you of) a concept: God is a celebration.

“What?” you may exclaim.

Oh, yes! It’s true! God L-O-V-E-S a celebration! And – guess what – He has great joy! God is all-out full of delight for His people who turn to His teaching in His Word – God is committed to showing His people a good time!
