November 11 - Daily Message - Habakuk 3:17

I believe this is a message to us from God, written from His perspective – Sherri 

Habakuk 3:17 Message “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.”

I know what you need. I really do. And sometimes I show you that you actually need Me more than anything else. You have to admit that I have provided very generously for very many people. Look at the nations in the world. Affluence exceeds poverty and yet people doubt Me because of the few who are truly struggling. I know it seems like a lot of people, but you have to look at the details and the stories behind the struggling also to get a real picture of what is going on. Talking in generalities simply does not work in this case.
 
Why, oh why, do people look to what is not rather than to what is? It is like choosing to look into a dark hole instead of a beautiful landscape or a lush and vibrant forest or the skies at night filled with stars.
 
It is a choice what you look at…lack or abundance.
 
I am not asking you to ignore anything.
 
But I am asking you to focus on what is good (Philippians 4:8) and, just as Habakuk relayed to you, find significant joy and thanksgiving no matter what circumstances exist.
 
Circumstances come and go.
I bring good out of everything.
Your experience of life will be much more enjoyable if you find joy in Me no matter what…if you praise Me in all circumstances and if you recognize you are a king in the Kingdom of God.
 
Try that on for size!
 
Thank Me in the midst of your deepest problems and find My joy…My joy is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10) that gets you through. Of course you don’t like the circumstances!
 
Praise Me and see what happens.
