Stuff That Matters In Life

Most people do not read the Old Testament because they think it’s hard to understand.

Habakkuk is an example of a book in the Bible that few are familiar with, but it is rich with promises from God.
Habakuk was a prophet to Israelites during a difficult period. The Israelites repeatedly disobeyed God. In Habakkuk 1:1-4, Habakkuk gives a description of the state of the country: violence, injustice, strife and conflict abound, the wicked hem in the righteous. It was not a nice place to live, to say the least.

At the end of Habakkuk’s book is my favorite:

Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
YET I WILL REJOICE INT HE LORD,
I WILL BE JOYFUL IN GOD MY SAVIOR.
The Soveriegn Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

In the worst scenerio, when nothing is going right, I can be joyful.
He is my Savior, He gives me strength.
What more do I need.
