A Word from Habakkuk


"The Lord God is my Strength,
my personal bravery, and my invincible army;
He will give me the speed of a deer
and bring me safely over the mountains."
Habakkuk 3:19 (Amplified & Living Bible)

M--
I just liked the line from the Amplified:
"my personal bravery, and my invincible army"
In the second part of the verse, the Amplified uses the word "hind" for "deer"--never liked that word. I have been known to mix and match. I know some people think that is just hearing what I want it to hear, but to me, it is just getting a clearer picture of what the Word says. And yes, I have been known to take verses out of context.
Glad you liked it. How do you like my mums? They are in full bloom, for sure!
