Habakkuk 3:19
The Lord God is my strength, And He has
made my feet like hinds’ feet, And makes me walk on my high places. For the
choir director, on my stringed instruments.
This
confidence of the man of God is tantamount to a promise; for that which faith
is persuaded of is the purpose of God. The prophet had to traverse the deep
places of poverty and famine, but he went down hill without slipping, for the
Lord gave him standing. Byand-by he was called to the high places of the hills
of conflict; and he was no more afraid to go up than to go down.
See! The
Lord lent him strength. Nay, Jehovah Himself was his strength. Think of that: the
Almighty God Himself becomes our strength!
Note,
that the Lord also gave him sure-footedness. The hinds leap over rock and crag,
never missing their foothold. Our Lord will give us grace to follow the most
difficult paths of duty without a stumble. He can fit our foot for the crags,
so that we shall be at home where apart from God we should perish.
One of
these days we shall be called to higher places still. Up yonder we shall climb,
even to the mount of God, the high places where the shining ones are gathered.
Oh, what feet are the feet of faith, by which, following the Hind of the
Morning, we shall ascend into the hill of the Lord!
Psalm 18:33
He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, And
sets me upon my high places.
