Yet I Will Rejoice...

                                          Though the fig tree does not bud 
                                       and there are no grapes on the vines,
                       though the olive crop fails and the field 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.  
                                        The Sovereign Lord is my strength; 
                                     He makes my feel like the feet of a deer, 
                                      He enables me to tread on the heights.  Habakkuk 3:17-19


Preparation day has come and gone.  Boot camp is over.  This is our time.  He has made us ready.  We cannot trust our feelings.  We cannot rely on just what our eyes can or cannot see.  We WILL rejoice in the Lord.   We WILL man the lifeboats and rescue those who are drowning in doubt and fear.  We WILL hold tightly onto Him so that they can hold tightly onto us.  He is stronger than this enemy we face.  He is wiser than all the wisdom of men.  He is loving and compassionate with His children.  He WILL carry us through this season.

And when we are on the other side (and we WILL be)......

We WILL praise and glorify the One who walked us through.  

We WILL lift high the Name above all Names.

We WILL look back and remember...He is faithful!
