INTRO: I had a little break in my preaching schedule and studied a verse that I have long pondered. For the first time I felt I gained an understanding of it. I had spent so much time on the verse, and had written down so much I thought I might use it for a message because of the amount of time I spent on it. I was almost done and then I got up the other morning, and after my Bible reading and prayer time, I caught up with the latest news. And then I thought of how tiring it is to hear bad news after bad news.
And then I thought of the subject of rejoicing in the Lord. Maybe it was time to do a message on taking time to rejoice in the Lord. I want to take us to Habakkuk 3 this morning. I have spoken on Habakkuk 3:17-19 before, and because my time was short in preparing for this message I will give some of the history I have given you in another message so that we get the background to this little book. This history will help us to understand the context in which our text takes place.
