Characteristics of a Good Cow (Setting the Heart)

What is your occupation? Are you in that particular line of work because God put you there? If so, then what has God taught you about Himself and living a life that honors Him through your job? After four years of teaching in the public school system Randall Grabau spent his adult life as a dairy farmer. During the 38 years as a full time dairyman, he developed an understanding of the beneficial characteristics found in the most productive cows in his herd. Interestingly, he began to also notice that the characteristics he wanted to see and develop in his dairy herd are the same ones that God wants in those people who are part of His Kingdom. What are the characteristics of a good cow? How do they relate to us as a part of God’s Kingdom? What can we learn from cows about how to be productive in God’s herd? The studies in this book will help you answer those questions. Hopefully, you will also be motivated to evaluate your own occupation in the light of what God wants to teach you through the work that you do. The SETTING THE HEART Bible study series addresses questions with questions. The art of interview includes questioning the one of interest. The first-hand information in the Holy Bible gives a balanced perspective of the One being studied. Randall Grabau gives the reader the benefit of his own questions regarding God’s being and our relationship to Him.
