👑 Habakkuk 3

Habakkuk 3 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.” Habakkuk 3 opens with these words: “A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.” The line to keep is Habakkuk 3:18: “yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” Carry the word “rejoice” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Habakkuk 3:18: “yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Habakkuk 3? Then try this: Read “yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
