Lesson from the Cows by Doug Fincher

“For they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid…” Zeph. 3:13

November 2, 2020 - Along with Castor oil, Castoria and Birdseye diapers, Mother always kept several cans of Carnation Evaporated Milk in our house. All ten of us were raised on a mixture of Carnation Evaporated Milk, water and Karo syrup.

From their beginning in 1907, The Carnation Company made “From Contented Cows” their slogan. This motto implied that their milk was better because Pacific Coast grass made their cows happier. Their condensed milk was issued as backup nutrition to our troops in World War I, II and in Korea.

And Christians are happier when they feed on the Word of God. David said, “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures”. In other words, “He feeds me well and gives me rest.” Many church members aren’t happy because they’re eating the wrong kind of grass. Good grass not only makes contented cows... it makes contented Christians, too!
