Though the cherry trees don't blossom

and the strawberries don't ripen,

Though the apples are worm-eaten

and the wheat fields stunted,

Though the sheep pens are sheepless

and the cattle barns empty,

I'm singing joyful praise to God.

I'm turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God.

Counting on God's Rule to prevail,

I take heart and gain strength.I run like a deer.

I feel like I'm king of the mountain! ~ Habakkuk 3:17-19(the message)

Reading this verse sparks an idea in my mind that no matter how hard life can get, no matter what trials you endure, you need to stop and look for God in it and praise him for our strength comes from Him and it is God who will equip us with what we need. In the New Living Translation verse 19 reads "The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights". When I read "tread upon the heights" I find beauty in it, I picture myself on a mountain top looking out at God's creation and using it as my connection to him.
