Habakkuk is my friend..............

God's word is so good, like food to our soul, water in the desert.In the midst of unexpected trials, like bad brakes on Laura's car, and a flat tire -car breakdown with Charissa on route 108 this morning , our Heavenly Father revives us through His Word! Habakkuk 3:17-19 says"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 be cut off from the fold,And there be no herd in the stalls-Yet will I REJOICE in the LORD!!!I will JOY in the GOD of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He makes my feet like hind's feet, He will make me to walk on high places. I think the biggest battle is not when the trials come, but early in the morning when we are preparing for the battle, by not allowing the enemy to distract us from having a quiet time with God or during the quiet time, itself. If, by the Grace of God, we "hide God's word in our hearts" then we will be able to embrace these trials "as friends" and rejoice, just as our friend Habakkuk did, and we will leap "like a deer" over the obstacles that come our way.
