What Does Job 39:23 Mean?
The din of battle surrounds the warhorse: the quiver rattling at its side, the glittering spear, and the shield all flashing in the rush of the charge.
The horse does not shrink from the weapons that would frighten lesser creatures; it bears the clamor as part of its calling. God made it equal to the noise and the danger alike. Job is shown a creature unmoved amid terror, and is led once more to consider the wisdom and power that fashioned such a heart. The Maker who steadies the warhorse amid the rattling quiver and the flashing spear can steady His people amid their own alarms.
