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,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.
~Haakkuk 3:17-19 NIV
Charles Spurgeon the great English pastor of the 1800s
writes: God has armies in ambush which will reveal
themselves in the hour of need. The forces which are on the
side of the good and the true far outweigh the powers of evil.
therefore, let us keep our spirits up and walk with the gait of
men who possess a cheering secret, which has lifted them
above all fear. We are on the winning side. The battle may be
sharp, but we know how it will end. Faith, having God with
her, is in a clear majority. They that be with us are more than
they be with them.
