If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
When I was a kid, I was on the school bus for a long stretch of time before and after school. And people, let's face it, I am a dreamer. So I had a magical stallion that could run as fast as the bus and leap over any terrain. He was the most magnificent animal. He helped pass the time as I watched him run along side and throw his mane back and look at every obstacle and know he was its conqueror. I would like to think all stallions are like my imaginary horse. I never gave him a name because he was a wild horse like the Black Stallion.
I loved horses then and I love them still. Such a strong and graceful creature yet he lets humans ride him because he is gentle and humble. Great power with a beautiful character. That is why I would desire to be a horse.
Cool. Your description reminds me of the meaning of the word 'meek' in picture form which is this: Picture a racehorse standing at the starting line. It's muscles are tense and quivering with anticipation. Just as you described, the horse has great power AND YET it is controlled by the bit in it's mouth. The horse won't make a move until the rider gives it a command and directs it using the bit. So it is with those who are meek. They are full of God's power and ability but they don't make a move until He gives the command. So blessed are the meek!
