In South West Asia the buffalo is known as "the eastern tractor" due to the use of its force for heavy work on the land. A buffalo can carry loads up to just over 2,866 pounds, it certainly has tremendous force. That is to say that this animal has the capacity to carry almost 30 sacks of 100 Lbs of coffee in bone grain that we do not need a pick up !! The capacity of the Buffalo is impressive and let's not say its structure can weigh more than 1200 kg, the truth is that something incredible. Despite its monstrous size, its strength and overwhelming power, this animal is capable of running up to 60 kilometers per hour. And if that were not enough, at the base, the horns are very wide and smooth, they are almost in the center of the forehead and form a hard helmet, which the bullets can not pierce, and protect the head of the animal from claws and teeth of others. What a great animal that even his own bulletproof vest has on his head!
Now can we better understand this verse of the bible? No doubt King David knew what animal he was talking about when he wrote this verse. But why do we sometimes still feel weak? Why do we struggle to understand and believe what God tells us in his word? I myself have fought, I myself have had to understand that it is only by faith that we can be strong like the buffalo, by faith we believe his word and by faith we believe that he strengthens us like a buffalo. But we just have to believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, it sounds easy but sometimes it is difficult for many of us.
But let us try to believe in his word, let us feel like a buffalo like a powerful beast of burden, because if God has said it in his word, it is because he does it. We just have to believe, his word says that if we can believe and have faith like a tiny mustard granite, (which incidentally is one of the smallest grains on the face of the earth) and we would say to that mountain, take off in the background. MAR, SHE WOULD BE REMOVED and there would be nothing IMPOSSIBLE for us.
