I ran across a scripture today  
that in the middle of my somewhat  
'feelin down in the dumps'...
reminded me that  
when life is kinda cruddy   
Hang on.   
Hang in.   
God cares.   

Habakkuk writes a short three chapter dialogue between
himself and God
He starts with the question / statement...
"You are God
You are Good
Why do you tolerate evil.....?"

and God responded...
"You only see the surface....
in the end all will be right and good..."

It's a good 'converasation'
one that would be current to this culture today.

Hmm....

At the end Habakkuk 'hangs up'
his frustration
and lack of understanding
and
releases the right to complain
by
trusting God....
no matter what it LOOKed like
in the moment...
or the year
or
the decade.....

Habakkuk 3:17 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,

18 yet
I will
rejoice in the LORD;
I will
take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 GOD,
the Lord,
is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me tread on my high places.

Yes Lord,
....my choice today.
.... to rejoice
.... to take joy
....to receive strength
From You.
thank You.
