Clearly no chariots here and these are not the kinds of horses the bible was speaking of, more of the trust in the might of an army. We might boast in the tanks, carriers and soldiers of our armed forces. But I was struck by the amazing maintenance, funds and effort put into the care and raising of thoroughbred horses. The enormous and well maintained farms, the breeding and training and equipment needed to feed, prepare, and transport these amazing animals is striking. And I am sure there are those who trust their fortunes and their life’s work to them. Nothing wrong with the career choice I am sure but the scripture is reminding us that what we can ultimately trust is not the wealth we accumulate, the “sure thing” we bet on that is 90-1, the military, or governmental strength that surrounds us but in the Lord who created it all, sustains it all and will finally will see that it meets his purpose.
