Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vine, though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food, yet, I will rejoice in the Lord. Habakkuk 3:17

How  many of us this morning are able to rejoice in the Lord no matter what we are going through? When we are facing the trials and tribulations of this life, it becomes so easy for us to turn away from God, from trusting God, instead of rejoicing in the Lord. Why? We are lacking in our faith. We are not spiritually matured in that we are able to rejoice in our tribulations. My brothers and sisters in Christ, you are never alone in your struggles. God will give you more grace when the burdens grow greater. It may seem like you are alone if you are far from God, if you are not in tune with God, for his strength is perfected in our weakness. He promised that he will be with us and that he always will make a way for us. So, hold fast to God’s unchanging hand, have faith, for scripture reminds us, that if we fail in the day of adversity our faith is small. What are you doing to build your faith? Go through every trial valiantly, rejoicing in the Lord, even though your cupboard is bare and your bills are piling up, rejoice in the Lord! Amen!
