WHEN ALL GOES AGAINST YOU!
Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NASB)
17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food'
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls ---
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The LORD God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer's feet.
And He will make me walk on my high hills.

Habakkuk is probably seldom read unless you are reading through the Bible in a year! But it ends with this great affirmation of faith. He was not happy about things that were happening in the nation! Indeed, God had announced judgment!
But he had learned to trust God, even in the difficult days. Have we learned that? Hopefully as we celebrate the birthday of Jesus, we realize that we can TRUST God regardless of what is happening.
Merry Christmas!
