We question God s goodness and/or faithfulness towards us Habakkuk 3:17-19 17 Though the fig tree does not blossom and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food,
We question God s goodness and/or faithfulness towards us Habakkuk 3:17-19 though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
We question God s goodness and/or faithfulness towards us Habakkuk 3:17-19 18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
We question God s goodness and/or faithfulness towards us Habakkuk 3:17-19 19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on my high places.
