Habakkuk 3:19
19The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's
feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills.
The prophet Habakkuk made the
choice
to still praise the Lord even in the midst of the famine that he and
the people of Israel were suffering as the result of the invasion of the
Babylonians. The wrath of God was made evident by Him allowing Israel's
enemies to attack. God had warned His people for years that the
occurrence was coming due to their disobedience. The disobedience was on
the fault of both leadership and the people. He warned through several
prophets for years. And then it came. But for Habakkuk to make the
choice
to praise the Lord and rely on Him to be his strength no matter what
circumstance whether blessed with plenty or not showed his true love for
God. He asked that God make his feet like that of a deer. The feet of a
deer are strong and can move through rough territory including high
terrain. The NKJ Study Bible has a wonderful declaration, "sure-footed
because he was sure-faithed." True faith isn't seen in the easiest of
circumstances. True faith is put to the test during tough times. Walk on
your high hills of faith that the Lord
will bring you through.
