and no fruit is on the vines;
though the produce of the olive fails
and the fields yield no food;
though the flock is cut off from the fold
and there is no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will exult in the God of my salvation.
God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer
and makes me tread upon the heights (Habakkuk 3:17-19).
All of us live by faith in something or someone, even those who are not particularly religious. We have faith that our family will support us in difficult times, young children trust that their parents will protect them and give them aid when they skin their knees. Even when we drive, we have faith (though with some caution) that others on the road will drive carefully. Every day we live by faith in some regard.
