AN INFIDEL used to jeer and scoff at the Bible. He denied that God lived. One Sunday he went out to his field to while away his time, for Sunday can be a dull day for a godless man. In the field was a cow that he owned and when she saw the man she came to him and licked the back of his hand. And he was converted through that cow. How? Did the cow preach? Yes, the cow preached by reminding the man of a verse from the Bible.
“The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, My people doth not consider.” Isa. 1:3.
The cow brought to his memory that striking verse, which he had learned as a boy, and it went to his conscience.
“The Bible is true after all,” he said to himself. “That cow knows me, but I do not know God.”
As a result of this, he came to God, confessing that he was indeed a sinner. He took the Lord Jesus Christ as his own personal Saviour. The man who had been an infidel, who had claimed that there is no God, now joyfully took God’s offer of salvation. Won’t you do so, too?
