Habakkuk
"Yet I will rejoice in the LORD"
Text: Habakkuk 3:17
LEARNING TO LIVE BY FAITH
Habakkuk would have to find sufficient faith to face what lay ahead of him! A strong and vibrant faith would be what he would need to face and overcome the challenges that would come as war loomed!
“Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labour 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-
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
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 3:17-19
