"Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, though the product of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the victorious God of my salvation! The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make spiritual progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!" Habakkuk 3:17-19 Amplified
May we not live an if… (fill in the blank), then……… life
but an even though…................., yet I will….. life.
‘Even though this does not make sense (casting my nets out again)- even though things aren’t looking good, yet I will rejoice in the Lord,' and I will obey.
He MAKES me- He enables me to catch an abundance of fish when I’ve tried all night. (Put whatever your frustration is in there.) HE ENABLES me to drop everything and follow Him.
HE MAKES me walk on my high places (even of trouble, suffering, or responsibility)- He who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or THINK- according to the power (Eph 3:20) that works within us.
“On the ground of Your Word, I will……..”
(and then DO the thing!) Don't just be a planner or dreamer or just a hearer... actually take action.
"But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves." James 1:22
What is He asking you to take action on? May I challenge you to share that with someone who could keep you accountable? Take action. "I will do as You say."
