FIGHT. When you are part angry, part fearful; when your dander is really up and you raise your fist in frustration. That’s when God wants to step in and be your Defender.
FLIGHT. When you want to just run away from all the drama and trauma you see; feeling so incapable of any kind of correct response. That’s when God wants to be your Protector.
FROZEN. When you are so overwhelmed by all that’s coming at you right now and you don’t know how to move forward or go back; unable to make any decision at all. That’s when God wants to be your Comforter.
FAWN. And when you just do anything to keep the peace at any expense; doing whatever others want or expect just to keep things calm. That’s when God wants you to know He is still in charge of it all. He can handle all the loose ends.
Wherever you find yourself, unable to help or fix - God is there. The God Who helps, saves, comforts and defends us as gracious Lord. Abounding in mercy and steadfast love. It is He. Right here. Right now. In your midst. Orchestrating a good outcome. He is. He will. There is no god like our God.
Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? - Exodus 15:11
In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. - Exodus 15:13
