There
May Be No Sheep In The Pens
And
No Cattle In The Barns.
But
I Will Still Be Glad In The Lord;
Scripture
Habakkuk
3
17 Fig trees may
not grow figs,
and there may be no grapes on the vines.
There may be no olives growing
and no food growing in the fields.
There may be no sheep in the pens
and no cattle in the barns.
18 But I will still be glad in the Lord;
I will rejoice in God my Savior.
19 The Lord God is my strength.
He makes me like a deer that does not stumble
and there may be no grapes on the vines.
There may be no olives growing
and no food growing in the fields.
There may be no sheep in the pens
and no cattle in the barns.
18 But I will still be glad in the Lord;
I will rejoice in God my Savior.
19 The Lord God is my strength.
He makes me like a deer that does not stumble
so
I can walk on the steep mountains.
Observation
I
love this passage found today in Habakkuk chapter 3!
No
matter how bad things were the Prophet Habakkuk was still going to be
glad in the Lord. He was still going to rely on God for his strength.
He was still going to rejoice in God as his Savior.
You
and I need to do the same thing!
Psalm
28:7
The
Lord
is
my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me,
and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of
thanksgiving.
Psalm
46:1
God
is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
2
Samuel 22:30
In
your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.
Psalm
73:26
My
health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the
strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
Philippians
4
6 Don’t worry
about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you
need, and thank him for all he has done. 7
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.
19
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs
from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ
Jesus.
Application
No
matter what I have or don't have in this life I will rejoice in the
Lord. The Lord God is my strength. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, Your promise to me and to anyone else that may read this blog
is that You will meet every need that we have as long as we put You
first. I will rejoice in You today. You are my Strength. You are my
Savior. There is nothing too hard for You. Give all of those who are
weary and weak Your strength today. Help them to rejoice in You
today. Fill their hearts with joy!
