What Does Job 39:25 Mean?
The portrait of the warhorse reaches its height: at the sound of the trumpets it answers with eager cries, and it senses the battle from afar, the thunder of the commanders and the roar of the war-shout.
This keen, exultant spirit is woven into the creature by God, beyond anything Job could devise. The Lord has been unfolding the wonders of the animal world to lift Job above his narrow grief into the wide majesty of creation. The same God who gave the horse its fearless joy holds Job's life too, and the One whose works are this marvelous can be trusted with all that we cannot understand.
