The mane on this Norwegian Fjord horse has been trimmed to reveal a pattern of dark hair sandwiched by light hair. These horses seem to be sturdy and fun to ride.
It makes me think of the Bible verse about our hair.
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7
It seems like these verses use language even a child can understand. But if we really think about it, it offers wonderful assurance that God knows each of us and does not forget us. Taken in context with verses before these, we get the idea there is more than just our lives on earth. God has our eternal spiritual interests in mind.
Maybe we can be more like the Norwegian Fjord horses and be sturdy in our spiritual lives and fun to be around with the knowledge that God knows and cares about each one of us.
