13. HIS LISTENING EAR
Job 39:25: “He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha.”
People may laugh, but God will always have the last laugh. Psalm 2:4 says: “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.”
The warhorse described in Job 39 is a well-trained horse. In a proverbial sense he is like the horse that Jesus Christ, the Conqueror of conquerors rides upon in Revelation 19:11.
Are you familiar with the words of “Chariot of Fire”? The words are by Jack Hayford to the tune used in the move, “Chariots of Fire.”
I rise up to worship,
I stand to acclaim,
The King of all Glory,
Christ Jesus, His name.
I ask you Lord Jesus,
Fulfill my desire;
Please light me and make me
A Chariot of Fire
Come ride on my life,
Lord Jesus Christ;
My King and my Master
Come ride on my life,
To this one thing
I wholly aspire.
Come rule in my heart,
Lord Jesus Christ;
My King and my Master
Come ride on my life
And I will be your Chariot of Fire.
It is true, by giving ourselves to come against principalities and powers we can also become great battle horses that King Jesus will be glad to ride upon. Perhaps one of the many reasons why this battle horse laughs “Ha ha” amongst the trumpets is because he hears the trumpet of his rider, King Jesus. His great voice is like the sound of a trumpet (Revelation 1:10, 11).
Jesus says in John 10:217: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” Likewise, this well-trained warhorse (or sheep) is extremely tuned to the trumpet voice of its rider who is the Alpha and Omega. This trumpet voice he listens to in the midst of all the battles of life causes him to laugh loudly, Ha ha.
There are many riders blowing their trumpets, but perhaps there are many horses that are not as privileged as we are, for in the midst of all the trumpets, we can hear His voice which causes us to laugh, Ha ha.
Paul had a message of comfort and hope in the midst of a ship wreck (Acts 27:23). He was able to laugh at the storm. Do you remember the old song, “With Christ in my vessel I will smile at the storm”? Peter also said Ha ha to the raging sea when Jesus asked him to come and walk on the water.
Upon hearing the trumpet voice of its master encouraging him on, the true warhorse says Ha ha. This is the language of faith.
The battle for the right president continues to rage. What trumpet is the Christian church listening to? Are they tuned into the One who rides the white horse? Ha ha.
