Habakkuk 3:17-18 "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 saw no fruit
He noticed no results
But he chose to believe
And not walk by impulse
He could have chosen fear
Been enslaved by emotions
He could have followed his way
Or a whimsical notion
He could have let doubt win
And trusted the devil's voice
But in spite of no results
He had chosen to rejoice
Some people judge by numbers
Or they decide by success
They think God is not pleased
If you have a lot less
You can see a lack of fruit
And see the numbers decline
But can you walk in joy
With no fruit on the vine?
Trials have an end date
You may not know their length
But you have to know one thing
Joy in the Lord is your strength
