Habakkuk 3:17-18: '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 lists every possible failure. Crops, livestock — all gone.
Then: yet.
Yet I will rejoice. My joy isn't in what I have. It's in who he is.
If your joy depends on circumstances, it'll run out. If it depends on the God of your salvation, it can't.
