Hab 3:17-19 states:
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 GOD, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me tread on my high places.
John Piper had this passage read during his wedding. At first I thought Hab 3:17 was very sad. But now I see that it’s a very comforting passage, reminding us to trust in God during the tough times in marriage. Tough times will come… but God hates divorce and he will be our strength in marriage.
