Day Nine... "Laughter in the Bible"

Abram and Sarai laugh at the idea they can have children or pleasure at their age. Anything is possible with God...even childbirth past the prime years. We see the significance of names today. Names are significant. Have we considered the meaning of our name? Abram becomes Abraham as he will be the symbolic father of Israel and Sarai becomes Sarah. Names can be a reminder of who we are and Whose we are. God shows mercy to the city of Sodom saying He will spare the people if even ten are found righteous. Psalm Nine is another of by David and states... "the Lord is the refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold for times of touble." The reading of the Beattitudes can literally change the tone of the day. As I read them, I almost see my world upside down and then I realize for God this is "right side up."
