0:06
future, but there's power in one tiny word that flips the entire
0:14
atmosphere. Today's scripture is coming from
0:17
Habakkuk chapter #3 verse 18, and this is the new Living
0:22
Translation. And it reads, Yet will I rejoice
0:27
in the lore? I will be joyful in the God of
0:30
my salvation. Let's go deep.

A backer wasn't pretending he wasn't doing toxic positivity.
0:41
He wasn't out here lying to himself about the losses in
0:45
front of him. He said nothing is working,
0:49
everything looks empty. I feel defeated.
0:53
And then he pivots. Yet will I rejoice?

1:06
crown themselves as your God. That yet is rebellion against
1:11
everything trying to drain your joy.
1:15

1:21
hell doesn't get the last word. You do, but don't miss this
1:28
point. You are allowed to feel your
1:31
feelings. You are not required to live
1:36
under them. You're yet resets the

2:46
than every circumstance in front of me.
