The following verse has popped out at me two times in the last couple of days. I don’t know when the last time I read Habakkuk was so I was not familiar with this verse. The first time I heard it this past week it struck me as a nice, powerful verse and I took note of it. Then later — not even sure how much later if it was that evening or a day or two — but I was listening to a message by John Piper that my husband suggested and there was the verse again. I’m not one to think these things are coincidences. So again I took note and now well it’s on my blog. I find it one of those verses that spur me on to continue the race come what may.
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–yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17-18
