Even when the world is bleak and nothing seems right, Habakkuk finds joy in the Lord. Find joy in the Lord, especially now when we celebrate his birth. The world has changed forever, rejoice!

Habakkuk 3:17-19
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.
God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me tread on my high places.
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.
