Rejoice

So tonight we had a guest preacher - Tim Wenger from Switzerland.  You can hear his message here.  But he reminded me of a passage of scripture I hadn't thought about for some time.  In case you've forgotten as well, I'm just going to put it here without much comment.  Just know that the life of the man who wrote it was not all roses.  In fact, he had some serious questions about what was happening in his world.  But he can still affirm this.  I hope you can as well.

Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines, 
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
--Habakkuk 3:17-18
