Yet I Will Rejoice

Though the fig tree does not bud

and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

and the fields produce no food,

though there are no sheep in the pen

and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in Yahweh

I will be joyful in God my Savior.

The Sovereign Yahweh is my strength;

he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

he enables me to go on the heights.
-Habakkuk 3: 17 - 19

The photo is from the Library of Congress Archives on flickr that I was reminded of tonight. Such an amazing collection.
