trusting my Messiah
ByFor even if the fig tree doesn't blossom,
and no fruit is on the vines,
even if the olive tree fails to produce, and the fields yield no food at all,
even if the sheep vanish from the sheep pen,
and there are no cows in the stalls;
still, I will rejoice in ADONAI,
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
ELOHIM ADONAI is my strength!
He makes me swift and sure-footed as a deer
and enables me to stride over my high places.~ Havakuk 3.17-19, Complete Jewish Bible
See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
~ Matthew 6.28-31, NIV
I love that Habbukuk passage and so many times Father has reminded me of the Matthew passage. The Habbakuk passage I got a melody to and my children would call it my “trouble song” because I sang it a lot when I was going through a very difficult time in life many years ago. It is a good way to memorize a passage of scripture.
Love and shalom,

That is one my favorite verses ever!
That passage is the one from which our “Lilly” gets her blog name.
