Joy in the God of my Salvation

We just finished a study in Habakkuk on Wednesday evenings.  I have been waiting for months to get to the last two verses of that prophet’s writing.  Habakkuk’s journey through as he seeks God’s answers is encouraging because I see myself in Habakkuk.   Often I wonder what God is doing.  I wonder why He is doing what is doing-the way He is doing it.  And sometimes I just flat out disagree with God.  What most amazes me, is that God takes Habakkuk from complaining against what God is doing to to point where Hab. says, that even though there is tremendous disappointment that will accompany his life and the people of God, he will joy in the Lord, He will rejoice in the God of his salvation.  God will make his feet like deer feet and he will rise above the destruction to walk upon his high places.  There is victory in our soul that only comes when we joy in God alone.  Oh to be able to truly delight in the God of my salvation-to be able to rise above the misery of this world.
