Though the fig tree does not bud

Tonight, for some strange reason, my spirit is rejoicing within. I can’t explain it. There are many things went wrong, or didn’t go according to my will and plan this year.

  • This year, our family finance went to negative by thousands after we enjoyed few good years in the past
  • I just agreed to close down my business because it’s not profiting
  • Our banks just reduced their interest rate by 30%
  • I didn’t get the awaited pay increment
  • I’m releasing a leadership position in a Christian circle
  • Our girls are getting bigger & naughtier…instead of better
  • My body getting weaker too compared to my younger days…

Yet, like Habakuk says, my heart rejoices in God, my salvation.

For this world and everything in it will pass away. Human relationships will pass away too. Our friends and children too will grow and leave us. Everything just temporal. Only God is our eternal security. When I’m nothing & nobody, yet I’m glad even rejoicing inside. To know how great God’s love is. I’m just a sinner saved by His great grace. That’s so sweet & wonderful.

I can’t really remember when I pray that Habakuk’s prayer. But I’ve longed to taste and see when it becomes a reality. And to know it by heart, how sweet indeed. God is true and His word is true, He never shortchange us.

You have put more joy in my heart
    than they have when their grain and wine abound. ~Ps 4:7
