17 Though the fig tree should not blossom
And though there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield if olive should fail
And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold
And there be no cattle in the stalls,

18 yet I will exult in the LORD,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

19 The Lord God is my strength;
He has maked my feet like hind's feet,
And makes me walk on my high places.

The devotional that we studied in Mexico,Claiming the Gospel in Daily Life, Talks about trusting completely in God for everything and realizing that He is in control of everything that happens to us. We also discussed how Faith is an essential part of the Christians life. Although it is a minor book, by an minor prophet, Habakkuk is an amazing example of Faith in God. Habakkuk sees what is going to happen to him and the rest of his people, and although it is horrible, he sings praises to God. His faith is amazing and it shames me. I don't know if I would be able to do what he did.
