Job 39:19-24 :)

If you know me very well , you know that I am in love with horses!!! And God has blessed me abundantly to be able to own my own horse, Cinco. :)

Cinco and me!

Cinco is a great friend! He, even though he is a horse, has his own unique human-like personality. First and foremost, he is terrified of pigs! Strange, I know! :)

Cinco also has strict feeding schedule in his head, and if we are a little late feeding, he can be quite annoyed! You can tell when he's mad, because he stomps around, tosses his head, and makes quite ugly faces! :P

But best of all, Cinco is my friend! I enjoy spending time with him, noticing his quirks, and working together as a team when we ride. :)

I had never heard this Bible verse until I saw Secretariat a few months ago (by the way, if you haven't seen this, you NEED to! It is amazing! I saw it 3 times!), but now it has been added to one of my favorite verses!

Job 39:19-24

(God is asking this to Job)

"Do you give the horse his strength or clothe his neck with a flowing mane?

Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?

He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray.

He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away from the sword.

 The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance.

In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.

Oh, isn't this verse amazing? And the cool thing is, that we can be like the horse in this verse! If God gives all this to a horse, who has no soul, then he will most lovingly give all of this strength and bravery through Him to us!

God contains all the love, strength, bravery, peace, healing, and innumerable other amazing things inside Him, and He is just waiting to transfer them to us!

When God gives you a dream or purpose for you life, or in other words, your "trumpet sounds", don't be afraid to go for it! If what you want to do is God's will for you, nothing can stop you, so ask God for His guidance, strength, and peace through it, and pursue your dreams! :) With God's power within you, you will most certainly suceed!
