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,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Habakkuk 3:17-18

Habakkuk can say this even though he knows what is coming is the complete destruction of his land.
He faces not just the loss of the luxuries of life but also the necessities including food. This is a good word for us in light of our current circumstances whatever they are.

Notice Habakkuk’s response – “Yet I will rejoice”

The source and object of his rejoicing is God himself. He is free from superficial happiness. C.J Mahaney makes this comment:- “Habakkuk has discovered true joy, which transcends circumstances and exists even in the midst of severe suffering – a joy found in God alone. And here alone is where you and I can find joy in the midst of our severest suffering.”
