Saturday afternoon, Buddy's children, John and Trish were spending some time with their dad. Amidst all the test and goings on, Buddy woke up long enough to say "God is wonderful! God is wonderful!"
Buddy's response comes from the core of who He is...God's child. His words bring to mind an Old Testament passage.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Whatever is truly in our heart is what spills over in times of greatest trial.
