Therefore, may we be determined to maintain a spirit like that of the prophet Habakkuk, who said: “Although the fig tree may not blossom, and there may be no fruit on the vines; although the olive crop may fail, and the fields may produce no food; although the flock may disappear from the pen, and there may be no cattle in the stalls; yet, as for me, I will exult in Jehovah; I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.”
Kwa hiyo, na tuazimie kudumisha roho kama ile ya nabii Habakuki, aliyesema hivi: “Ingawa mtini hautachanua maua, na mizabibu ikakosa matunda; ingawa mazao ya mzeituni yanaweza kuharibika, na mashamba hayatazaa chakula; ingawa kondoo wanaweza kutoweka zizini, na hakuna ng'ombe katika zizi; lakini mimi nitafurahi katika Yehova; Nitashangilia katika Mungu wa wokovu wangu.”
