You ever notice how the universe has a sense of humor?
Not a knee-slapping, ha-ha kind of humor, more like that friend who sends you a life lesson wrapped in sarcasm and a flat tire. You know the one: you’re running late for work, spill coffee on your white shirt, and then, just to top it off, you drop your phone screen-first onto the only patch of gravel in a five-mile radius.
At first, you want to scream. But then, maybe, just maybe… you pause and ask:
“Okay, God. I see you. What’s the punchline?”
The Holy Art of Tripping Over Life
See, life isn’t just about climbing mountains and manifesting your dreams. Sometimes it’s about tripping on your shoelace in front of a crowd and trying to style it out like you were just stretching.
We all want the deep stuff: purpose, transformation, growth. But half the time, growth shows up looking like a bad haircut, a missed opportunity, or a painfully awkward conversation with someone who’s “just being honest.”
And you know what? That’s okay.
Jesus washed feet. That’s basically the biblical version of saying: “Humility is the real flex.”
When God Speaks Through Wi-Fi Outages
Ever had a day where your internet goes out, your dog throws up, and your fridge suddenly smells like a crime scene? You think the enemy is attacking your house.
But sometimes… it’s just Tuesday.
Maybe it’s not an attack. Maybe it’s a holy pause. A sacred “unplug.” A divine interruption so you’ll finally stop scrolling long enough to feel something again.
We treat inconvenience like punishment. But what if it’s a love note wrapped in chaos?
What if God breaks your Wi-Fi so you’ll go outside and remember what a tree looks like?
The Absurd Beauty of Being Human
You’re not a machine. You’re a walking contradiction in yesterday’s socks, trying to figure out whether you’re called to greatness or just called to take a nap.
And both can be true.
We’re sacred and ridiculous at the same time. That’s the beauty of being human. We cry at insurance commercials and forget why we walked into a room. We write books about purpose while eating chips in bed.
And still — God calls us beloved.
So today, laugh at yourself. Trip with grace. Drop your phone and then your expectations. Life is messy, weird, glorious, and — thank God — not up to us to perfect.
Closing Thought:
If today feels off, like you’re the punchline in someone else’s cosmic joke — just remember:
Even the Bible says “A cheerful heart is good medicine.” (Proverbs 17:22)
So go ahead. Laugh a little.
Even if it’s just because your fridge smells like judgment.
