“For Richer or Poorer”

Habakkuk 3: 17, 18: “Though the tree should not blossom, and there be no fruit on the vines, though the yield of the olive should fail, and the fields produce no food, though the flock should be cut off from the fold, and there be no cattle in the stalls, yet I will exalt in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” Those living in the Age of Me approach divinity only to insure prosperity and productivity; in the Kingdom of God we recognize His love and dominion is with us both in abundance and in lack. Our Lent fasting is there to remind us of this principle.
