Do you make the horse jump like a locust? It scares people with its proud snorting. It paws wildly, enjoying its strength, and charges into battle. It laughs at fear and is afraid of nothing; it does not run away from the sword.” Job 39:19-22 (NCV) “Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image and likeness. And let them rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the tame animals, over all the earth, and over all the small crawling animals on the earth.’ So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female. God blessed them and said, “Have many children and grow in number. Fill the earth and be its master.

Lord our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:6-9 (NCV) “The godly care for their animals…” Proverbs 12:10 (NLT) “Horses can’t bring victory; they can’t save by their strength.” Psalm 33:17 (NCV) “You can get the horses ready for battle, but it is the Lord who gives the victory.” Proverbs 21:31 (NCV) “Some trust in chariots, others in horses, but we trust the Lord our God.” Psalm 20:7 (NCV) Terms Learned in This Episode: Muscle: A stretchy part inside a body that can tighten and pull.
