Imagine an ancient battlefield. Among the billowing dust and echoing trumpets, a war horse neighs loudly. His eyes are full of passion, his feet stomp the ground, and he is undaunted by the roar of swords. Elsewhere, high atop a steep cliff, an eagle spread its wings. It pierced the sky with precision and power, searching for prey with a sharp gaze from a distance. Both of these creatures exude a splendor and mystery that silences the mouths of men.

In Job 39:22–30, God continues His "speech" to Job by pointing to two magnificent creatures, the war horse and the bird of prey. In the presence of such majestic creations, God poses the question, "Are you the one who powers the horse? By what means does the eagle fly, spreading its wings towards the south?" The horse described is not just an animal, it is the epitome of strength, courage, and a fighting spirit that is unshakable by fear. In fact, this horse is not only undaunted by the sword, but seems to become more excited when it hears the sounds of war (verse 23 & 25). This image symbolizes theophanic splendor, the electrifying radiance of divine majesty.

Ayub, who was overcome with fear, would not be able to control the fearless creation. How, then, could he hope to control the "horror" (אֵ֥מָתְךָ֗ —emah) of God (cf. Job 13:21)? Then God continues His teaching through the life images of birds of prey. The eagle with its high flying power and its nest hidden in the cliff, is described as living with wisdom. Its sharp eyes are able to spot prey from a distance and feed its young. Here God seems fascinated by His creation, describing the courage of the horse and the eagle with admiration. Doesn't this imply that everything He created has value, meaning, and beauty worth contemplating?"

Friends of the Bible, we often feel anxious about the future, or don't understand why life is the way it is. As God came to Job, not with an explanation but with a revelation of Himself, with His presence, and it was more than enough. Such is our life, which moves in the rhythm of God's wisdom. Therefore, let us live with awe, not with demands. Cast your cares on God who is greater than the storm, higher than the eagle, and stronger than the horse. Remember that God not only rules over creation, but He also admires and cherishes His creation. In His view, creation is not just a work of art, but a reflection of His beauty and character.
