DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 30-31; Micah 1-2; Romans 9:1-29
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall 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
Habakkuk, a man who experienced God, shows his absolute triumphant trust in God’s purposes and sovereignty. No matter what our circumstances, God is faithful. Talk about lifting your spirits! No matter what your situation today, reflect on these verses and be encouraged.—James Comte
Though the fig tree shall not ripen and no fruit be on the vine,
Though the shades of night be gathering and the sun has ceased to shine,
Still in Christ my soul is resting and my cup o’er flows it’s brim;
He my everything supplieth—I am satisfied in Him. —A. Christiansen
