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 as a son of God, I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation. He is my strength. Why? Because I know my father has a plan for me. (Habakkuk 3:17)
