Did you know that an elk’s anklebones make a distinct sound when they walk? These sounds are the primary means of communication and engagement with other elks as the sounds of their anklebones cracking and popping are a way of communicating that another elk is approaching from behind. These familiar sounds are so important for an elk to listen out for because if they follow unfamiliar sounds that seem strange and different then their curiosity about what is approaching from behind will lead to the unfortunate event of having their heads mounted on a hunter’s trophy wall.
Our wounds reveal that in this world we do indeed experience trouble and times of testing. However, we have a choice to either listen to the unfamiliar ‘sounds’ of the hunter, Satan or do we put our elk hooves into the shoes that bring peace and run toward its melody. Jesus offers us the peace which is in Him so it will be in you and give us great confidence.
Has your faith become insecure and unsteady because you’ve listened to the unfamiliar sounds of the hunter?
