Psalm 103:13- “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who
fear him.
I overheard someone on a shuttle recently say, “God’s mad at me.” I’m not sure what the context was for this remark, but it got me thinking.
What does the Bible say about God’s emotions? Can He get angry? Does He laugh? Is He capable of being sad?
I did a little internet search to see what theologians might answer. Overwhelmingly, they said “yes.”
There are hundreds of references supporting this view in Scripture. Here are just a few: John 3:16 (love); Deut.1:37 (anger); Judges 2:18 (pity) grief (Genesis 6:6) and so on.
The difference between God’s emotions and human emotions is that His are for righteous purposes and He has perfect control of them.
As Christians, we seek to make God happy (pleased) by the way we live our lives. Today—and every day—may we bring Him joy and, yes, even laughter!
