"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in The Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength ..." Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NIV)
Because of all of the evil that God allowed, the prophet Habakkuk complained and questioned God. After God answered him, he prayed for mercy. Then he praised God's power and said no matter how bad things got, he would still rejoice in The Lord because God is his strength.
God is in control of everything. It does not matter how bad things seem to us, they are all part of His permissive will. Since we know that He has already overcome the world, and through Him we have the victory. There is no need to worry about anything. We can rejoice in The Lord and be joyful, in spite of our situation and circumstances.
