  1.  While not wanting to sound arrogant or self-reliant, in spite of all these things I can affirm with absolute confidence that, “Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the field shall yield no meat; the flock be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and He will make me walk upon mine high places” (Habakkuk 3:17-19).

Joy does not depend upon things going well. It depends on my personal relationship with the LORD God!
