Habakkuk 3:6
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.”
שָׁחַח
To bow down, to be brought low, to be cast down. Shachach. Why are you cast down O my soul? The honest acknowledgment of spiritual low points is itself an act of faith.
