All my life I’ve heard “fight or flight” in terms that reduce people’s struggles to nervous responses or animal instincts. We are spiritual beings. We are more than just a chemical response to our environment.
God has given us the ability to learn discernment, wisdom, and common sense in dealing with people and situations, but Jesus’ invitation is for us to become so much like him that our peace completely overwhelms our circumstances. To be in Christ is to be so renewed in mind and joyful in heart, any threat trying to control you or scare you away doesn’t stand a chance.
Every time you choose faith over fear, hope over self–pity, and love over hate, you not only accelerate the growth of who you are in Christ, I’m fairly certain you give the devil stress–induced diarrhea.

Hilarious! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving one than the devil.
Many good points in this writing to ponder. I especially like the statement, ‘we are spiritual beings’. That can get muddled by distractions of every day life. But how much clarity comes when you think on that nugget of truth. It’s good to be reminded that indeed we are spiritual beings. God is just THE best!
