Habakkuk 3:17-18 Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
Let's put that in today's context -You know the moment when things suddenly start to go haywire, the loo gets blocked, the roof tiles need mending, you need new specs, the car insurance is due, and a hundred and one other things suddenly need an answer right away. It seems to all come at once! But hold on a minute, take a deep breath and let's get things in perspective here!
What is happening is just the normal affairs of life and God has promised to be there for us in all of it and to provide all our needs as and when they arise. He never tells us to worry about any of it but to go to Him for His wisdom and to have a thankful attitude as we trust Him to help us. All will be well!
The Holy Spirit is our Helper. That means we don't have to deal with any of it on our own! If we're struggling to praise God, we can praise Him for that! 😊
It helps too to recognise that the enemy is trying to put pressure on us in any way he can but the good news is, he can't, unless we allow him too.
So even though things may be all up in the air and it may feel like it's going to land on your head, just remember the Holy Spirit is inside you, only a prayer away, and He will equip you to deal with whatever comes.
As we said on Sunday 'Take heart', the Lord is our Strength and Shield, our Helper and our Provider - every single day.😊
