Bible verse

Habakkuk 3:19

Habakkuk 3:19

“The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.”

Habakkuk 3:19 (King James Version (public domain))

What it means

This is a song of trust sung in a hard season, when the fields were empty and the future looked grim. Instead of despair, the prophet finds his strength in God and pictures himself climbing sure footed over rough heights, like a deer on the cliffs. God does not always remove the mountain; sometimes He gives us the feet to walk it. In Christ our steadiness comes from Him, not our circumstances, so we can rise above the low places and stand where we could never stand on our own.
