WHAT a nice picture we have before us today in these Jersey beauties. They are well cared for. Apparently, the young girl has brought them along with the goat, to the brook for a drink and a cooling. The dog no doubt will watch them and keep them from going too far into the water.
In these cows and goat do we not see God’s wonderful care for boys and girls, older ones too, in providing milk for the nourishment of our bodies? How thankful we should be to the Giver of every good and perfect gift!
There would be no growth for the babe, unless fed and nourished by milk, and we love to see baby grow. So it is with young believers, whom God calls babes in Christ. You know, dear ones, God has provided food for our souls, as well as for our bodies. There will be no growth of soul, unless we feed on God’s food, the Bible. A young believer in a healthy condition, will be hungry for His food.
We long and pray that all our young readers may come to the Lord Jesus in their youth. Time is quickly passing; the day of God’s grace will soon be over, soon we shall hear the “shout,” and all under the shelter of Jesus’ blood will be caught up, to be forever with Him. Will you be among the number; or will you be left behind for judgment, banished from God’s presence for eternity?
Do not delay longer, dear unsaved one, but come, and enjoy the food of God’s providing, — “The Milk of the Word.”
