Bible Verses that Make Me Laugh

Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by Karen True in random

You might say the Bible really does have something to say for every life situation. Here are several case(s) in point…though this might be taking a little far.

Dental Hygiene for Husbands: My breath is offensive to my wife. (Job 19:17)

A Refrigerator in Need of Cleaning: Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch. (Col. 2:21)

Table Manners: Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. (Zec. 5:1, KJV)

Van Rides: If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom. (Job 13:5)

Naptime and Diaper Changes: Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed. (I Cor. 15:51) \

Hope for the Parents of Teenagers: They admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. (Heb. 11:13)

And my two personal favorites have great potential to become life verses for women through different seasons of life. The first fits just right before marriage and children…Men hotly pursue me all day long. (Ps. 56:1)

And after a baby or two…All the fat is the Lord’s. (Lev. 3:16)

The Bible is the most read, most loved and most misunderstood book of all time. I turned to it when I was trying to figure out what I believed, when life offered more questions than answers, when I needed hope, when I need to worship and for just about any other reason you might think of.  And while these verses have stopped me in my tracks a time or two to make me laugh, here are a couple that rock my world every time I read them for completely different reasons.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matt. 11:28-30)

Seriously. Amazing. He really means it. Jesus has a corner on rest for people like us who live in a world like this. Frantic. Uncertain.

In a world of never enough, He invites me to rest. In Him. No matter the speed of life.
