Once again my darling husband has had an accident at work and once again he is on disability.
This Fall has proven to be very difficult and once again we are not prepared for such a calamity either physically and or financially.
Some times I wonder what life would be like if we had lots of money, or better millions.
What we do have, is our relationship with God and that is priceless. The other night Paul and I read through the Prophet Habakkuk and we both said we sorta feel like him. There is much misfortune going on in Israel and Habakkuk is very dismayed. He asks God how long will the evil in Judah go unpunished? (1:2–4). Tonight, Paul and I are asking a similar question-how long will we be in this torment? God does makes it clear, however, that eventually the corrupt destroyer will itself be destroyed. In the end, Habakkuk learns to rest in God’s sovereign appointments and await his working in a spirit of worship. He learns to wait patiently in faith (2:3–4) for God’s kingdom to be expressed universally (2:14).
Both Paul and are waiting and we know that in the end through this time of pruning our branches will bear fruit and once again just as Habakkuk discovers, the olive branch will bear oil.
