Repent, Rely and Rejoice

“Fight, Flight or Freeze.” Have you ever heard of this phrase? It describes the physiological response we have to keep safe, preparing us to face, escape, or hide from danger. Facing danger, and following the destruction of the land and their exile into Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar, the people of Israel in Ezekiel's day had their own reactions to the plight that now faced them. It could be described as Defend, Debate or Despair." However, when confronted by our sins, God leads us in faith to a better response.
