The Laughter of God

I like to think that God has a great laugh.
one of those contagious full laughs that big, burly, manly men with welcoming smiles have. The kind that fills your insides with smiles that eventually break out into your own laugh.
But today I read from proverbs ch1. It says in no uncertain terms that God laughs at those whom he warns but do not heed. With great compassion and care he corrects, instructs, disciplines, teaches. And in the end when some refuse to change, refuse to learn.
Pain.
And God will laugh.
He will not answer their pleas for help, no rescuing them from their folly. No. they suffer the tragic consequences of their choices in full. And he will laugh.
Please do not laugh at me...I do not want God to laugh at me.
