True or False?

If you have ever been accused of doing something that you know you haven't done, can you really laugh at your accuser?

Good question. Because being accused of something repeatedly, especially by the same person or group of people can do a lot of damage to one's life. not to mention their self-esteem. 

I know, because a family member is going through this right now. With people that can do them irreparable damage, if they were a weak sort of person that did not stand up for what they believed. And for that reason, I know this person has indeed laughed at them at times.

For their stupidity. Let alone their ignorance. For the power that they feel is due them in society.

But is this right to do? Does God indeed laugh at the stupidity and ignorance of people?  Let's look at what He says:

The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth, The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.  Psalms 37:12-13

God does laugh at the wicked. But what are we to do when we are attacked by these kinds of people that can make our lives miserable? Especially those of us that belong to God.  

David in the bible prayed this:   Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. Psalm 3: 1-8

I don't think that it is a bad thing to laugh at those who show themselves to be foolish. Because some of their ideas are just incredulous. Sometimes just plain crazy. Stuff we can't believe what they are saying. My dad used to say, "It's better to laugh or you would cry." Some people don't deserve our attention any other way. 

But at the same time remember as David did that we belong to God and He and only He is our righteous defender against all the wickedness of the people that come against us.

Are there any other things we can learn about what we can do when our enemy is on the hunt for us. Come back tomorrow and we will check it out.

Thanks for coming by today, Friends. Be blessed and be a blessing to others!
