What an inspirational section of Scripture! Habakkuk made an excellent choice by saying he would rejoice in the Lord no matter what was going on with his fields or flocks! It is a state of mind I am praying I can get to!

Paul encouraged the Philippians by saying he was content in whatever state he was at. That can only come by our focusing on the fact that we are God’s children, and He is the Good Shepherd.

In thinking about rejoicing in the Lord, it made me focus on my prayer life. I may not always have words for the Lord; but, He is always worthy of praise! We should enter His gates with praise! He is worthy!
