Imagine a fence that separates the life of your dreams from the realm of mediocrity. On one side, there’s the land flowing with milk and honey — your hopes, aspirations, and the fulfillment of your God-given potential. On the other side? Well, let’s just say it’s more like a dry, cracked desert where dreams go to die of thirst.

Now, every thought you think and action you take pulls you deeper into one side or the other. Engage in life-giving activities, and you’ll find yourself basking in the glow of your dreams. Indulge in negative thinking or procrastination, and you might as well pack a bag for your extended stay in Mediocre-ville.

But what if you decide to dance on the fence? Sure, you’re keeping your options open, but let’s be real — fences aren’t made for dancing. The danger of falling off in the wrong direction is high, and if you’re not careful, you could end up with more than just a bruised ego. Hesitation and indecision are like barbed wire on that fence, ready to slice into your spirit and leave you stuck, wounded, and going nowhere.

So, what’s the solution? Get off the fence! Pick a side — preferably the one with the greener pastures and fewer regrets. Immerse yourself in it fully, and if you ever decide to switch sides, do it boldly. Jump with both feet, because half-hearted attempts only keep you teetering in uncertainty.

Remember, the fence isn’t your friend. It’s a place of indecision, and that’s where the real danger lies. As it says in Matthew 6:24 (NIV),

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

This verse highlights the instability that comes with indecision, reinforcing the importance of choosing a side and committing to it fully.

Choose your side, jump, and let God handle the rest. Just make sure you’re aiming for the side that leads to life.
