Habakkuk said it best, when he said:

Though the fig tree should not blossom

and there be no fruit on the vines,

though the yield of the 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,

yet I will exult in the LORD,

I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

The Lord GOD is my strength,

and He has made my feet like hinds’ feet,

and makes me walk on my high places.

Habakkuk knew this to be absolutely true:

it is better to have God and lose everything

than it is to have everything and lose God

far more worthwhile to rejoice in God

than count the blessings on the table
