Horses in Heaven!

Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True, and He judges and makes war in righteousness.

Revelation 19:11

The true meaning of this verse is profound.  I will save until another time an attempt to delve into it’s truth.  But for now I would like to simply remind you that according to this verse there are horses in Heaven. 

I am not known for being a "horse lover," but I have owned a couple of horses during the course of my life.  I think it is well worth recognizing that horses appear to have been created for the purpose of providing useful service to men.  A bunch of wild horses is beautiful and even majestic, but in the scheme of things there is nothing they provide for the rest of creation that is useful.  But a "broken" horse is perhaps the most useful animal in all of God's creation.   Transportation, farming, war, and even recreation are all appropriate venues for the domesticated horse.

So in some ways horses are like people.  A man running wild is of no use to anyone and in fact can be dangerous and even destructive.  But a "broken" man is most useful to others and even to God Himself.

When God reigns in your life and lets you know the direction you should take, let Him have His way with you.

Someone will have to help me find the scripture that supports the fact that "all dogs go to heaven."
