On the Fence

This mockingbird has landed in a risky position. It looks somewhat hazardous to straddle two opposite branches with your legs wide apart. It’s amusing to think that maybe this songbird can’t decide what song to sing. Like the old saying, he’s “on the fence.” Straddling the fence can happen to us when faced with big decisions that requires a lot of courage. From my experience being on the fence is not a pleasant place to be. If you’re on the fence and facing a big decision and need lots of courage, take it to God in prayer. He’s willing to listen, guide and bring peace of mind. Remembering that He loves us no matter what enables us to make a courageous decision and get off the fence.

Trust is the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Prov. 3:5-6
