Though the fig tree should not blossom and there be no fruit on the vines, though the yield of the olive should fail and the fields produce no food, though the flocks should be cut off from the fold, and there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17-18
It took a lot of time and soul searching for this prophet to reach this conclusion. When he saw the coming catastrophe he wanted to blame God and accused God of making a mistake. When he finally realized that "The Lord is in His holy temple and all the earth should be silent before Him." His journey of faith led him to peace. Where are we on our journey? When we humble ourselves, we too can find peace and satisfaction even in trouble times.
