When the Fig Doesn’t Bud

MARCH 18, 2024

O Lord, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear?
Habakkuk 1:2

 Recommended Reading: Habakkuk 3:17-19

The book of the prophet Habakkuk contains three chapters. In the first two, Habakkuk complained about his nation. He was discouraged. But the Lord told him to trust—for the just must live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4). In the final chapter, Habakkuk responded by composing a hymn. He rejoiced in God’s splendor and glory, and he said that even if the fig didn’t blossom or the fields yield food, he would still rejoice in the Lord. He ended by saying, “The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills” (Habakkuk 3:19).

Like Habakkuk, we sometimes question what God does or what He doesn’t do. Yet we must walk by faith, remembering who He is and how He works. Meditating about God’s character and all the good things He has done can help us remember He has a plan. In all hard situations, ask God to help you take things one step at a time, standing on the firm foundation of His love.

Nothing is beyond [God’s] control. His sovereignty is absolute.
