"Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls -
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation."
I love rereading things and discovering them anew again and again....I always remember the word joy in this passage being used as a noun but it is so refreshing and powerful to hear it used as a verb!
