When God says "Yes"....When God says "No"

"Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave." (1 Kings 8:56)

Found this poem I wish to share...which I feel corresponds to the above passage

If God says "yes" to our prayer, dear heart,
And the sunlight is golden, the sky is blue,
While the smooth road beckons to me and you,
And songbirds are singing as on we go,
Pausing to pick the flowers at our feet,
Stopping to drink of the streams that we meet,
Happy, more happy, our journey will grow,
If God says "yes" to our prayer, dear heart.

If God says "no" to our prayer, dear heart,
And the clouds hang heavy and dull and gray;
If the rough rocks hinder and block the way,
While the sharp winds pierce us and sting with cold,
Yet, dear, there is home at the journey's end,
And these are the trials the father does send
To draw us as sheep to His Heavenly fold,
If God says "no" to our prayer, dear heart.

A thought to ponder... 

No one can stay on the mountaintop of favor forever, for there are responsibilities for each of us in the valley.


Coming soon....Coincidence?  Or God?
