Yes He does have a sense of humour and laughs at us as his stupid children, knowing us so well and yet working our disobedience back into his plan and redirecting everything. When I first got Holy Spirit I was given a gift for evangelism, getting a word of knowledge or hearing God's voice instructing me to say something to someone totally unprepared. It happened to me a few times out of the blue. But on one particular day He used my disobedience to trigger another disobedient son of God into action for His purpose. I do see the funny side of it now. I had grown confident since preaching really successfully when God had asked me to previously with 2 Mormon men. But now as I approached a Mormon with a billboard asking "Why do you pray?" I clearly heard God say to walk straight past and ignore him. Thinking I can do this easily, I totally ignored God and went up to take this conversation on. I got into hot water as this man had some very sexist indoctrination about women, being raised a Mormon in Saudi also. He didn't listen to a word I said and I also didn't feel Holy Spirit led at all in the conversation and got worn out. Just then, a homeless man sitting at the side of the road stood up and took over. He said "Sorry, but I just had to butt in, if you don't mind because God has been asking me to speak and I just couldn't sit there and leave you with this any longer, while I have been ignoring God for so long. I used to be a pastor of a church, but I had a problem with alcohol and lost everything. God has healed me and asked me to get back up, but I have been holding back. It's not right that I sat there and left you when I know the scriptures on your conversation. Do you mind if I have a chat with this young man?" I very happily left them in conversation and went on with my shopping and I laughed because God knew I was going to disobey his voice and start that conversation and He also knew that the other disobedient guy was going to get triggered into getting up and preaching again. He used my disobedience to turn around his disobedience 😊
