The fig tree may not bud

The route to God never takes us around our problems. We can either force something that isn't there, and be under huge pressure to improve and by our will of strength try to change, or we celebrate God's grace. In Habakkuk 3:17-19 you can read:

Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.
