69 - I'll Sing To You This Time (Yet I Will Rejoice)

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 If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time donation, thank you! http://www.sherriyoungward.com/donate To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at www.sherriyoungward.com
