Hello steemians
Good morning and happy weekend

Habakkuk prayed a prayer in Habakkuk 3:17-19 and it got me wondering if believers of today can have the mind to pray such a prayer especially in this perilous time.
Believers this days will rather go extra miles to get what they want and when they get it they will enjoy it until something strange happen to them in the course of enjoyment then they will remember that Jesus still exist.

Habakkuk 3:17-19 (Amplified Bible)

17 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 no cattle in the stalls,
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!
19 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 to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!

Though things are bad, though the world is turning bloody, though people are now lovers of themselves and money, though people kills, though pandemic strikes, though there is hardship, though there is lack of food supply, good education, electricity, etc I will still trust and praise the name of the Lord.

To rightly put it, I will say this was the prayer of prophet Habakkuk, he wasn't looking at the happening in the city that is the world he believe and still trust in the name of God not just that he said he will not cease to praise the name of the lord, he will rejoice in the name of the Lord, in the God of His salvation, woah! What a faith and believe.

He believe in God totally that no matter whatever happens that, the lord will still make Him progress in life.

Let's bring it to our life now: can you pray this kind of prayer? Okay let's say it this way, can you say this kind of things with confidence without fear of tomorrow?
If your faith is not strong enough to the point of believing God totally, not worrying about food, money, clothes, houses, cars, sickness, witches, then you need to examine yourself again.

my declarations

Father, I promise, no matter what the world say, no matter how the road will be rough, I will trust and rejoice in your name forever. Help me lord Jesus to trust in you with all my strength, might, heart and with my body, spirit and soul please Lord.
Help us Lord as believers in Jesus name. Amen
