Habakkuk 3:17 & 18
“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail. And the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no heard in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”
O what a glorious God we serve! O the love He has bestowed upon us and continues to love us even when we sin!
When all is gloom and doom in our lives. When everything we try to do seems for naught. When all seems lost and we have no other place to turn. When the world turns it's back on us. God, our Heavenly Father is there. Sometimes in that still, small voice. Sometimes with a loud shout! But He is always there.
In this verse Habakkuk is telling us no matter how bad it gets, we are to rejoice in the Lord. Always Praise the Lord!
We must remember who gave us the gift of salvation. It is not of ourselves but of God. We have so much to rejoice in Him for. But our salvation should be the number one gift we are thankful for and should be continually praising our Heavenly Father for blessing us with. No other gift can come close to the magnitude of our salvation on our lives.
Our salvation is unto eternal life and without it we would be eternally dead. Without the salvation of our soul we would be eternally separated from the Lord. Without salvation we have no Heavenly inheritance. Without salvation from the Lord we are doomed to hell and eternal torture.
Nothing we can do, no good work, no “sinners” prayer, no “Romans Road” can save the lost. Only the gift of God. The gift He gives us through His Son Jesus Christ. Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ we are saved from eternal death and hell.
What more do we need to rejoice in the Lord!
Praise ye the Lord!!!
