Default When Others Laugh

WHEN OTHERS LAUGH

No one likes to be made fun of. No one wants to be laughed at or ridiculed. Yet it happens. Sometimes we poke fun at others meaning no harm but they take it the wrong way and are hurt. Sometimes others make fun of us and gang up on us and we begin to feel bad about ourselves and angry at them. When others laugh at us it is not a time to feel sorry for ourselves but a time to trust in God to show us what to do. That requires taking the focus off of us and putting it on Him. When we do that, He will show us what to do.

Romans 12:14 “Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them.” (NLT)

Dear Lord, we know there will be times when others laugh at us. We know there will be times when it feels like people just want to put us down and make us feel worthless. But we know we are not worthless. We know we can be strong when we put our trust in You. When we decide to focus on You rather than the hurting remarks of others, we can get past the painful words and actions and determine what You want us to do that will glorify Your name. Thank You, Lord, for all You do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

God wants us to pray for those who want to hurt us.

When others hate or exclude us, we are to pray and patiently wait on God to show us what to do.

It isn’t easy but God can help us keep calm when others lash out at us.

People may be poking fun at us just for a laugh, but sometimes it hurts. When we are hurt, God can help.

The best thing to do when others do wrong to us is to remember to do right and know God will bless us for it.

Luke 6:22 “What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man.” (NLT)

Psalm 133:1 “How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!” (NLT)

Focus today: Remember others may be hurting when they lash out at us. So we should ask God to help us to say and do the right thing that will glorify His name.
