Habakkuk 3:17-18 Though the fig tree does not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the yield of the olive fails, and the fields produce no food; though the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls— 18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation.

Trusting God no matter what? Is this where you find yourself on today?

Have you chosen to bless the name of the Lord our God in your uncomfortable situations by singing and giving Him praise?

This is where we find the Prophet Habakkuk in this text in the midst of judgment and hardship, declaring to sing and praise God in the midst of it.

Well, we know the story, they were worshiping the gods of their surrounding nation and had moved away from the true and living God, therefore God spoke judgment against them through His Prophet, Habakkuk.

The prophecy of Habakkuk is different from those of other prophets who normally speak to the people on behalf of God, but in this text, Habakkuk is speaking to God about the people.

Habakkuk questions God's timing of His judgment upon His people and He questions God as to how He, being a holy God would use their enemies, the Chaldeans, who were more wicked than them to bring judgment on the children of Judah.

Having accepted God’s response and having placed his faith and hope in the Lord His God, Habakkuk chooses to rejoice and sing a hymn of faith even when everything around him had signs of the pending judgment that was to come.

How are you standing in the midst of trouble? Singing hymns of praise? I knew you would be.

God bless you all.
