Habakkuk 3:17-19
17 Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls— 18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.

When we seem to be going nowhere and appear unfruitful, when all we own goes away - then is when we need to follow Habakkuk's example in finding joy in our Lord. In every bad or good time we must rejoice, knowing Christ is our strength and will enable us to run and leap over the rocky hills as a deer on a mountain slope. He saved us and will certainly carry us through it all for His glory, and so we find Him working for our good in all things.
