"The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places." (Habakkuk 3:19)
Those who have learned to walk with the Lord will not lose hope in any adverse situation. Even if they lose everything, they will not lose their faith. Job serves as an outstanding example for us. Despite losing everything he had; Job did not lose his faith.
In today's meditation verse, the prophet Habakkuk conveys a message similar to Job's. In the preceding verses of today's meditation, Habakkuk says:
"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation." (Habakkuk 3:17-18)
There is a slight difference between what Job says and what Habakkuk declares. Job maintained his faith even after losing everything he had. In contrast, Habakkuk declares that even if all he possesses yields no fruit or benefit, he will not lose his trust in God but will continue to rejoice in Him. He speaks of the fig tree, vine, olive, fields, flocks, and herds—symbols of wealth and resources—yielding nothing, yet he chooses to find joy in the Lord.
Moreover, Habakkuk affirms: "The Lord God is my strength; he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places." This indicates that he does not rely on material wealth or possessions as his strength but considers the Lord himself to be his strength. Therefore, he is confident that God will not abandon him. Similarly, King David says: "Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust." (Psalm 40:4)
When we place our trust in the Lord, He gives us assurance. He will not allow others to treat us with contempt. This is reflected in today's meditation verse: "He will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places."
In summary, today's meditation verse teaches us that when we trust in the Lord and cling to Him alone, worldly possessions will seem secondary to us. Even if we lose them, we will not be troubled but will continue to rejoice in the Lord. Moreover, He will not allow others to shame us but will be our strength and raise us above others.
Yes, "Blessed is that
man that maketh the Lord his trust."
