Habakkuk 3 · Grade 4

Joy When the Fields Are Empty

Name Date

Read and Think

Habakkuk's final chapter is a prayer. He begins, Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds. He asks God to renew his work in the middle of the years and adds, in wrath, you remember mercy.

Next Habakkuk describes God coming like a mighty storm. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth. His splendor is like the sunrise. The earth shook and the mountains were afraid. God went out for the salvation of his people.

Habakkuk trembles as he hears, yet he decides to wait quietly for God. Then he makes a bold promise. Even if the fig tree doesn't flourish, the olive fails, the fields yield no food, and the flocks are gone, he says, yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation. Yahweh is his strength, and he makes Habakkuk's feet like deer's feet on high places.
