Fig trees may no longer bloom,
or vineyards produce grapes;
olive trees may be fruitless,
and harvest time a failure;
sheep pens may be empty,
and cattle stalls vacant--
but I will still celebrate
because the LORD God
saves me.
The LORD gives me strength.
He makes my feet as sure
as those of a deer,
and he helps me stand
on the mountains.

Blessings Karen! No matter what... let us continue to celebrate that we are saved!
When I celebrate His Resurrection and great moments of His power or strength, it's easy to jump for JOY & PRAISE! It's when things look desolate like the beginning words of Habakkuk here, that we must praise... just for the blessing of being SAVED! WOO HOO! PRAISE the LORD! Thanks for a great word & WFW
