K, so I'm back. I keep remembering this verse I read a few days ago. It attached to my heart and I can't quite seem to shake it off.. Even while I try to read the chapters assigned to my reading plan, Habakkuk 3:17 just keeps coming to mind. It's just so beautiful.
Though the fig tree should not blossom.
Nor fruit be on the vine.
Though the produce of the olive fail.
And the fields yield no food.
Though the flock be cut off from the fold.
Though there be no herd in the stalls;
yet I will rejoice in the Lord.
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
God, the Lord, is my strength.
He makes my feet like the deer's.
He makes me tread on my highplaces.
The last verse is the clincher. I WILL TAKE JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION. That pretty much sums it up for me. I will take joy in you Lord; I want to be that person who takes joy in you and everything else is just extra. Help me take joy in you, make me take joy in you God. Show me your greatness, remind me of your awesome glory and neverending love so that no matter what happens in my life, no matter whether I have a groundbreaking quiet time or not, no matter whether David is being sweet, no matter how overwhelmed I am with work, how scared I may feel at points about everything I'm gonna do this semester...I can take joy in you and remember that YOU, YOU ALONE are my strength. And with you, I will tread on highplaces no matter what life looks like, no matter my circumstances or what I see. I have you and that is my highplace. Always.
