“我却要因耶和华欢喜，以救我的神为乐。”
哈巴谷书 3:18
“yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”
Habakkuk 3:18
Habakkuk had great cause for despair after having seen the coming troubles for God’s people; long and arduous years lay ahead. Things really did look dismal: no fruit, no meat, and no creature comforts. Despite all the hardships he anticipated, Habakkuk found cause for rejoicing simply because of who God is.
While we might be prone to exaggerate our problems, Habakkuk truly faced some extreme hardships. If he could summon praise for God in those moments, perhaps we can too. When we’re bogged down in the depths of despair, we can look to God who lifts us up.
Lord,
You are the reason for all my joy.
Help me to fix my eyes on You when my circumstances are painful and hard.
