God will Provide "Tender Grass"

God will Provide “Tender Grass   
II Samuel 23:4 states, “And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.”
       Psalm 23:1-2 reminds us that, “The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He Maketh me to lie down in green pastures: [or pastures of green grass-Cambridge, KJV margin]…”God has not only promised to feed His sheep, but to feed them with luscious green and tender grass.  God doesn’t feed his sheep on hay or fodder, but rather on tender, green grass.  Why would Jesus do that for us?  St. John 10:14 answers the question when he quotes the words that Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd and I know my sheep.”
       Jesus knows what kind of food his sheep need.  So, He provides just the right spiritual food for the needed nutrition of His sheep.  Jesus always provides the best food which happens to be green, living, tender, nutritious life sustaining luscious green grass.
       Psalm 100:3 stated, “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we  are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.”  Since all Christian musicians belong to god, we have the right to trust Him to take care of us, and protect and feed us.  When the musician’s soul is thirsty, empty, and has great spiritual need for food, the good shepherd is faithful to provide tender spiritual nourishment that is necessary to properly sustain spiritual life. 
       Christian musician if you feel that your soul is empty, feed on the tender green grass of heaven.  If you need help, take advantage of the means of grace like prayer and Bible reading and partake of the Lord’s Supper for all these will administer grace to your heart.
