Yet I Will Rejoice

The Fog

Habakkuk names comprehensive, genuine loss here, worth examining directly, fig tree, vines, and more, all named as failing, and yet, immediately alongside this honest loss, yet I will rejoice, worth holding as this movement’s own mature picture, genuine rejoicing not dependent on circumstances first improving.

This is worth applying against however much your own joy has remained entirely conditional, waiting for genuine fog to first, fully lift before any actual rejoicing could genuinely begin, rather than this verse’s own model, rejoicing chosen, deliberately, even while circumstances remain honestly, genuinely unchanged.

Notice yet, this specific word worth holding directly, not denial of the genuine loss just named, but this deliberate turn, worth examining what your own yet might actually, practically look like today, rejoicing chosen deliberately, not because circumstances have changed, but despite them, honestly, remaining unchanged.

Whatever comprehensive loss currently, honestly describes your own circumstances, practice today Habakkuk’s own deliberate yet, choosing genuine rejoicing not because the fog has lifted, but despite it still, honestly remaining, trusting this choice as this movement’s own mature, practiced posture.
