During the gold rush, a young man was mining for gold for months. He found no gold so he decided to quit. He sold all of his equipment to a "junk man". The "junk man" sought counsel prior to start digging only to find out that gold would be found three feet from where the previous miner had stopped. He was right. The first miner was literally three feet away from striking gold before he quit.
During the gold rush
A man was told
If you will search
You will find your gold
He came there excited
He willingly took the risk
But with his searching
He gave up quick
He sold everything
He gave up in haste
He thought his searching
It was all a waste
The next man searched
In spite of what he was told
He dug three more feet
That's when he found gold
Prayer can be like digging
But there can be delay
Do we give up searching
When we are three feet away
We can miss out on blessings
Some that can be big
Because we give up too quick
And we neglect to dig
At times prayer can be mundane
When we see nothing new
But we have to keep praying
Until we press through
In your waiting on God
Don't let your love grow cold
For you just might be
Only three feet from gold
