Habakkuk 3:

17 Though the fig 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,

18 Yet I will exult in the LORD,

I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

19 The Lord GOD is my strength,

And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet,

And makes me walk on my high places.

4. Those who have taken shots – no negative health issues

5. May we as Christians use this opportunity to show the love of God and to shine light of salvation.
