Days of our Lives

Habakkuk 3:17-19 17 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, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior. 19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.
Dear Friend:
When you say the name Habakkuk, not many know who he is. The book of Habakkuk is a conversation with God and his prophet. He is questioning God as to why he has allowed those wicked people to prosper.
At some point in our lives we are waiting. That is how the days of our lives go. In the waiting we find ourselves questioning God. God tells Habakkuk the explanation of what he is going to do. The conversation goes back and forth. God really wants Habakkuk to know that he knows what is best in all situations.
Think about the questions you have about life right now. Maybe you have an elderly parent who is dying, or you’re waiting on a job offer, relationship reconciliation or child to come back home (straighten out). Deep inside we question God’s plan for the days of our lives.
It says in scripture that all the days of our lives are written in His book. He holds the answer in His heart and we can’t grasp it. I experienced this when my Grandma was dying. As I look back now I think His plan was perfect. I rested at my Grandma’s side and just held her hand. How sweet it was.
If you are waiting for something, my only advice is to do say what Habakkuk said “yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”
Be still and know that he is God. Look Him straight in the eye and say I will wait.
Let’s pray: Sovereign Lord you are my strength. You enable me to go on the heights. I rejoice in you. Thank you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Rejoicing,
