"Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord!"(Hab. 3:17-18,NLT) May be you expected a promotion and you were denied, or someone gave you a promise and disappointed you, or you confided in friends and they betrayed your trust, or your family didn't stand by you when you were in trouble. You feel like throwing in the towel. It may be hard coping with some of these issues, but nothing is too hard for God. There is no impossibility when it comes to Him; His name is I AM. Now let me attempt and paraphrase our text for today: "Even though your bank account may be empty, or there has not been any promotion for a long time, or no child after many years of marriage, or you couldn't pass an exam, yet will you rejoice in the Lord of your salvation." There's still hope! AB@TWDevotional
