Welcome to THE RESET TABLE
"The Laughter That Didn’t Fool God"
Wednesday, 16 July 2025
Dear Friends,
Welcome to this week’s The Reset Table, your mid-week space for sacred pause, soul healing, and emotional clarity.
In a world that rushes us through pain and pushes us toward performance, this is your gentle invitation to breathe, reflect, and remember that you matter, and your healing matters too.
We sometimes laugh…
Not because things are funny.
But because they’re tiring.
* Too long. Too hard. Too late.
So we smile. Nod. We say “It is fine.”
We look up. And say "It is well."
But the truth? We know!!
It is not fine. All is not well.
And God knows it too....
So, the story goes, that Sarah laughed too......
It was not out of joy...
It was disbelief.
She had waited so long for the promise.
Waited many years for a breakthrough.
So, her laughter was her defense.
> “After I am worn out… will I now have this pleasure?” (Genesis 18:12)
She was not mocking.
She was masking.
Masking her pain.
Her Disappointment.
Her "Hopelessness."
But here is the power of that moment:
God heard her laughter.
And He didn’t rebuke her.
He reaffirmed the promise.
📌 My dear friend, maybe you have laughed like that too.
That empty kind of laugh that hides a thousand letdowns.
But God sees beyond your smile.
He hears the ache behind your laughter.
And He still asks you, right now....
> “Is anything too hard for Me?”
He is not fooled by your brave face!!
No!!
And He is not offended by your tired hope.
In fact, He’s preparing your fulfilment in those same places you gave up on it.
********************
📌 THIS MIDWEEK RESET:
You don’t need to pretend with God.
He welcomes your honesty.
* Even when your belief sounds like sarcasm.
* Even when your dreams feel too ridiculous to hope for again.
You may have laughed off some promises.
But God didn’t laugh about them.
He remembered.
********************
MID-WEEK SOUL REFLECTION:
> What if your laughter was actually a whisper for help?
Maybe the answer is closer than you think.
********************
💃🏾MID-WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
"God is not offended by my weariness.
He remembers my waiting, and
He honors my hope....
even when I laugh to protect myself.”
