Habakkuk 3:17–19
Change book or chapter
17 For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines, the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food, the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
19 GOD, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

Stay with what you have read.
The God of salvation is still worthy.
Habakkuk rejoiced in God while loss remained before him. Christian hope rests in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, rather than a promise that every painful circumstance will improve.
