Habakkuk 3:17-19
Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and no grapes huddle together on the vines….
Even though olive crops dry up,
and fields lie fruitless and empty….
Even though flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns stand empty,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation
For You, Sovereign Lord, are my strength!
You make me as surefooted as a deer,
able to leap across high places.
