Why a Calf Panics in Winter

 

Let’s pretend you are a new calf, born in summertime. The pastures are luscious green, and your mama’s milk is rich and oh so good. And at times, you hear a rumble in the bottom of the farm close to the river. And you see a four-legged creature pulling a large mouth that is consuming grass and spitting out a large roll of it. So you ask your mother about it, and she says, “Oh, that’s the farmer on his tractor cutting hay. You say, “What’s hay?” She tells you that the farmer brings hay in the winter, but you don’t understand.

 

Then winter hits. Wind out of the north. And you notice the grass is turning brown. Everything you trusted in and believed about the farm is gone. You are hungry for the first time in your life. The farm is a wasteland. And you miss summer. Then one day you hear what sounds like the farmer’s tractor. You watch as it bucks across the ruts in the cold earth. And it drops a large roll and your mother tells you to eat. And you do. It’s a little dryer than grass, but it tastes like grass. And you realize that during the summer, the farmer was busy preparing for your winter. Now you trust the farmer will always be there for you. So, listen closely today. Behind the veil, God’s tractor is preparing your future, and just as the cow can trust the farmer, we can trust God will meet our needs in our own winters.
