Because sometimes you just have to laugh at how life plays out… or even laugh at yourself!
Let’s just get this out there—God definitely has a sense of humor. I know this not just from quirky Bible moments (like Balaam’s talking donkey or Abram laughing when God said his wife, Sarah, would have a baby at 90), but from my own life.
If you’ve ever tripped over your own feet at the exact moment you were trying to look dignified, or realized halfway through church that you have two different color shoes on — then friend, you know what I’m talking about.
Unexpected Assignments and Divine Comedy
Let me paint you a picture: I once prayed for patience and then promptly ended up in a grocery store checkout line behind someone who paid entirely in change… while arguing every price. Thanks, Lord. That’s when it clicked—God doesn’t just answer prayers, He does it with flair.
God’s humor isn’t cruel or mocking; it’s gentle, intentional, and always aimed at drawing us closer to Him. He’s the Creator of joy, after all.
When Your Plan Gets Hijacked (For the Better)
I had a detailed five-year plan. You know, the “this is how my life will go” type of thing, complete with bullet points and color-coded sticky notes. Let me tell you—God must’ve chuckled. Because here I am, years later, not doing any of what I planned, and yet exactly where I’m supposed to be.
It’s like that old saying: “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.” He’s not laughing at you — He’s just gently reminding you that He’s the one holding the map.
And when He reroutes us, it often ends in something better than we could’ve imagined. Like the job you didn’t want but ended up loving. Or the relationship that started as a disaster and turned into a testimony. Or that one time you got lost on the way to a conference and ended up at the world’s best donut shop.
Wearing Proof That God’s Got Jokes! If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Yep, I’m living proof God has a sense of humor,” then this shirt was made for you. It’s bold, it’s funny, and it’s 100% relatable.
Here’s where it gets real: I never thought I’d be writing faith-based blog posts, running a Christian shop, or creating Bible printables that people actually want. My dream job once involved zero public interaction and a lot more naps.
But God had other plans — and a pretty ironic sense of direction. First, He took me out of the corporate world and put me on permanent disability. Then He took my sarcastic, introverted personality and gave me a platform. He took my fear of rejection and called me to share my heart online. He took my awkwardness and used it to relate to people. I can’t make this stuff up.
If you ever think you’re unqualified for what God’s called you to do, remember: He turned a fisherman into an apostle, a shepherd boy into a king, and a Christian-persecutor into a missionary. And somehow, He’s using me — and probably you too.
Humor Is a Holy Gift
Sometimes people think being a Christian means being serious all the time. But joy is a fruit of the Spirit — not a side dish. Laughter is healing, connecting, and worshipful in its own way. God created humor. It’s why babies giggle before they can talk. It’s why we instinctively laugh when things get awkward. It’s a divine survival tool.
I think God uses humor to teach us, humble us, and help us not take ourselves too seriously. Because if we’re laughing, we’re probably letting our guard down. And when we’re real, we’re reachable.
You finally get a quiet moment with your Bible… and the neighbor starts mowing the lawn.
You try to fast, and everyone decides to invite you to lunch.
You pray for a sign… and the GPS says, “rerouting.”
You share a deep, spiritual revelation… and realize you’ve got food in my teeth.
And you know what? I think He smiles in those moments—because we’re growing, we’re learning, and we’re laughing with the God who knows us better than we know ourselves.
Wrap It Up with Grace (and Giggles)
So if life feels a little upside-down, if you’re stumbling your way through faith with mismatched socks and half-finished prayers, know this: you’re not doing it wrong.
God’s not looking for perfection; He’s looking for people who will walk with Him, even if they occasionally walk into a glass door. And honestly? That’s kind of freeing.
So go ahead, laugh at the chaos, smile at the irony, and embrace the holy humor that makes this journey not just meaningful — but joyful.
You, my friend, are living proof that God has a sense of humor. And that’s a beautiful, blessed thing.
