What God Hath Promised

Written by Julie

God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.

God hath not promised
We shall not know
Toil and temptation,
Trouble and woe;
He hath not told us
We shall not bear
Many a burden,
Many a care.

God hath not promised
Smooth roads and wide,
Swift easy travel,
Needing no guide;
Never a mountain,
Rocky and steep,
Never a river
Turbid and deep:

But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest from the labor,
Light for the way;
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.

–Annie Johnson Flint

P.S. I’m going to keep reading through Job, but unless I have something to share I won’t be posting about it.
