Can you give me a Bible verse(s) that is funny that shows God's sense of humor?

Question

something fun just for fun

Answer 1

An example of God's humor is the instance in which the Israelites were using the Ark of the Covenant like a good-luck charm in taking it to battle, and the Philistines ended up capturing it and placing it in their temple before their idol of Dagon. They came into the temple the next day and found Dagon flat on his face before the ark. They set him back up. The next morning, there he was again, but this time he had his hands and head cut off as a symbol of his powerlessness before the God of the ark (1 Samuel 5:1-5). God’s putting Dagon in a position of submission to His ark is a comical picture.

Answer 2

Numbers 22

Answer 3

I actually read this last night and laughed. It is in CEV so that probably made it more humorous.

Proverbs 23:30-35
Everyone who stays up late, having just one more drink.
Don't even look at that colorful stuff bubbling up in the glass!
It goes down so easily,
but later it bites like a poisonous snake.
You will see weird things,
and your mind will play tricks on you.
You will feel tossed about
like someone trying to sleep on a ship in a storm.
You will be bruised all over,
without even remembering how it all happened.
And you will lie awake asking,
"When will morning come, so I can drink some more?"

It may not be "God's" sense of humor, but I enjoyed reading it.
Anyone who has been drunk has probably woken up and found bruises and asked, "where in the world did that come from?"

Answer 4

I don't know about a Bible verse but I think God must have a sense of humor to have created the skunk.

Answer 5

I think one of the funniest things about God is that he chooses to associate with humans. Peter is by far my favorite apostle in the Bible. He is quick to defend Jesus by cutting off Malchus' ear. He is positive he would never deny Christ, until he does.

So, I really enjoy Peter's response at the transfiguration... He is astonished with what he is seeing and the only thing he can think of saying is....Quick, Let's start building!

Matthew 17:2-4 (NIV)
There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. [3] Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
[4] Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."

Answer 6

This is the story of Haman, who thought he was the big cheese in the palace. He gets his comeuppance when he expected to be honored, but instead had to honor his enemy instead.

Est 6:6
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Est 6:7
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
Est 6:8
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king [useth] to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
Est 6:9
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man [withal] whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Est 6:10
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, [and] take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
Est 6:11
Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Est 6:12 ¶
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

Answer 9

Not really God laughing, but Him allowing us to laugh.
Lk 6:21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

And how about God making Sarah laugh?
Ge 21:5-6 Abraham was a hundred years old l when his son Isaac was born to him. Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.”

Here He makes us laugh....
Job 8:20-21 “Surely God does not reject a blameless man or strengthen the hands of evildoers. He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.

Psalm 37:12-13. The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them: but the Lord laughs at the wicked for he knows their day is coming.
