To better appreciate this verse... let us read the verses that come before.
Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,[e]
able to tread upon the heights.
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,[e]
able to tread upon the heights.
I am truly thankful that God is my anchor. No matter how I feel, how things turn out in my life, everything is anchored in God. I know that I can be joyful in my salvation. I find joy, strength and calm in my God!

This passage became real to me during one of life's storms. So precious. "Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will exalt in the God of my salvation." Intentional praise in the storm.
Thank you.
I love, love those verses.
Though the fig tree does not blossom...though the drought come...in all these circumstances, we can still rejoice in the One who rejoices over us with singing.
I love these verses! Thank you, goes right along with my desire to be JOYFUL in the midst of adversity. Blessings!
