Blinders were used to keep warhorses from fear. The horses learned to trust the guidance of their master, rather than their eyes. The horses did not predict or assume. The blinders kept them from fear and pride. The humbled, dependent horses could walk through anything because they were limited in sight. Therefore, they grew in dependence. Psalm 121:1-2 He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber. Matthew 6:24 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
