This week, we are revisiting a favorite episode. We hope you enjoy going back with us.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk was told a brutal enemy was coming.
They were known for violence. They would come with a force, and take all the herds and clear out all the stalls. They would demolish the trees and plant life that bore fruit or food for sustenance and trade. It was a dismal, terrifying horizon.
And yet we witness Habakkuk change, even though the circumstances didn’t. This three-chapter book impacts me every time.
Also, this episode comes with a warning. Though I keep things pretty mellow here at The Quiet Place, there may be some percussion and a cymbal or two at the end of this song.
I will sing, "Yet I Will Rejoice."
I will read to you from:
Habakkuk 3:17-18
