Mockers should fear. Mocking
almost always comes back to haunt. Mockery is a very dangerous tool. It is akin
to a taunt of ridicule. Goliath mocked at David and David taunted back. It is
safe to say that Goliath lost his head
in mockery.
When men, women, or children mock, there is a price to pay.
Often, the mockery is misplaced, and therefore, God keeps count in His Divine
Justice ledger. Such evil will return upon one’s head. And thus, God, Himself,
gets the last laugh, as He holds such men in derision.
The other kind of mockery, like David’s, is a scorn at the
inability of the enemies of God to assail His kingdom or people. We boast only
in the power and glory of the Lord and laugh to scorn all those who think they
can raise a banner against our omnipotent God.
Let any mockery of God or His lawful authorities, or at His
works in the world, not even be named among us. If we have scorned the power of
the Lord, even laughing in unbelief, as Sarah did, let us confess our sins and
repent, asking the Lord’s forgiveness.
