Today in Sunday school, I taught on Habakkuk and in the last part of the book, the prophet gives a piece of theological gold in 3:17-19. So to help the students understand this, I tried to adapt it to a life of a junior higher.

Though there be not money in our wallet,
nor gifts under the tree,
my dad has lost his job
and my family has to move,
a loved one has passed away
and my friends have all rejected me,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me tread on my high places.
