Most of want to escape from situations that cause us to feel stressed or fearful. We also can react in fear by getting angry or completely freezing and not taking action. Abraham (Genesis 16) reacted in fear by telling a lie about Sarah being his sister instead of his wife.
The way we react to situations tells us a lot about how much we believe God & trust God. When we allow fear to rule instead of faith, we disappoint God. Your fear tells you what you value the most and your faith demonstrates the complete opposite.
Take time to consider why you are angry or want to run away from a situation. What is it that is causing you to stand paralyzed and not take action on your goals and dreams? Why are you becoming "resourceful" and looking for shortcuts or ways to make the situation work in your favor? Could it be that you are reacting in fear of an unknown challenge instead of responding in faith to a God who is ALWAYS working for your good?
