Whose Silence ~

 

but the Lord

is in

His holy temple

let all the earth

keep silence

before

Him

Habakkuk 2:20

"whose silence are you?"

Even Though ~

Though the fig tree does

not blossom

and

there is no fruit on the vines,

[though] the product of the olive

fails

and the fields yield no food,

though the flock is cut off from the fold

and

there are not cattle in the stalls,

yet

I will rejoice in the Lord;

I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!

The Lord God

is my Strength, my personal bravery,

and

my invincible army;

He makes my feet like hinds' feet

and

will make me to walk

[not to stand still in terror, but walk]

and

make [spiritual] progress

upon my high places

[of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!

Habakkuk 3:17-19

~ ~ ~

these words stand

framed

in

my home

a

reminder

that it is not

about

what

but about

Whom 

that

my heart rejoices
