If there was a caption that fit this moment, it might make reference to having friends in high places. The fact that this deer is in a patrol car along with a police dog, would make one wonder what had transpired to get this deer in the predicament.
However, there have been times in my own life through my own stupid choices, I have ended up in situations that needed an advocate, someone who was willing to come into the midst of my mess and stay along side giving support.
The amazing thing is that the picture is a wonderful illustration of the meaning of Easter. The message is simple. God came into our world filled with the results of our sins and wrong choices and became our advocate. He didn’t stay outside of our confinement, but came right where we are and came bringing peace and not hostility. Sometimes it takes pictures like this to remind us of the deep but simple truths. God promised He would never leave us nor forsake us.
The promise to not forsake is powerful because we live in a world where so many through compromise, run from responsibility, which in itself is a huge component of love.
Forsake means to abandon, renounce or give up, and since the scriptures teach us that love never fails, it also implies that it never gives up. That is why loyalty is another aspect of love. Maybe this picture is the beginning of an Easter thought that should be meditated upon. If you feel vulnerable, trapped, and do not know what to do next, remember who is with you. He has never, and will never, leave you.
