Habbakkuk 3:17-19

雖然無花果樹不發旺、
葡萄樹不結果、
橄欖樹也不效力、
田地不出糧食、
圈中絕了羊、
棚內也沒有牛．
然而我要因耶和華歡欣、
因救我的神喜樂。

Though the fig tree des 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 the Lord,
I will rejoice in God my Saviour


(Habbakkuk 3:17-19)

Owing to my new job, I have moved to a new place, and left the fellowship where I have been for almost 6 years. For the past 3 months I went back the fellowship occasionally to visit my girlfriend. Perhaps the fellowship, like my spiritual life at this moment, is lacking of vitality. We are looking for a breakthrough, but the breakthrough is not coming.

The above verse from Habbakkuk has translated into a Christian song, and I was touched by it. Even though the works that we have done seems to bear no fruit; Even though we are working hard but seems to go to nowhere; Even though we are expected something great from God but the great things did not happen; I will keep waiting and rejoice in the Lord.
