Habakkuk 3:17-18 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/hab.3.17-18.NASB
This is from John Mac comments on this verse. It says it better than I could.
If everything that was normal and predictable collapsed, the prophet would still rejoice. Obedience to the covenant was a requisite element to the enjoyment of agricultural and pastoral prosperity ( Dt 28: 1– 14 ). Though disobedience would initiate the covenant curses ( Dt 28: 31– 34 , 49– 51 ), the prophet affirmed his commitment to the Lord; his longing and joyful desire was for God Himself.
