Habakkuk 3:19–"God, the Lord, is my strength; He makes my feet like the deer's; He makes me tread in high places."
The analogy presented in this verse is rather cultural, however, the intention thereof, the meaning offered is still relevant today. The idea of "feet like the deer's" has a twofold meaning: the first is about adaptability, the second is about swiftness.
The deer, in this context, is an animal with astounding resilience and adaptability. It can go anywhere, often places other animals could never reach. To heights unreachable or depths unthinkable, the deer and its unique hooves empower it to go.
Similarly, the deer has a unique swiftness to it, the dynamic ability to switch directions, to run after that which is needed or to away from danger.
But praise be to God that He makes us like this; empowers us to live as He would wish.
It is in this way that He is our strength! And we should trust that He does do this for us and in our lives.
