AN EXPRESSION OF REAL FAITH

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 IN THE LORD,

I WILL BE JOYUFUL IN GOD MY SAVIOR.

The Sovereign Lord is my strength;

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

He enables me to go on the heights.

(Habakkuk 3:17-19)

In other words,

Even if my whole world falls apart

I will Rejoice in the Lord,

I will be Joyful in God my Savior.

In this Last of the Last Day of Time,

We may experience the same thing

That Habakkuk faced--

His whole world fell apart,

Leaving him with the Lord, alone.
