Have you heard of the “turtle on a fencepost”? It goes like this: if you’re walking along a fence and spot a turtle sitting atop a fencepost, you know it didn’t get there by itself.” A "fencepost turtle” didn’t get into its predicament by accident; somebody put it there—and likewise, when we find ourselves in unexpected, or strange life circumstances, we should understand that we’re there not of our own design, but because God has placed us there for a purpose.
Are you sitting on a fence post right now, faced with a sudden turn of good fortune or an unexpected opportunity? Being put on a “fence post” is a wonderful opportunity and a reassuring sign that God has a plan for you. Take time to consider why God might have placed you there, and how you can use this opportunity to serve God before you are once again placed back on the ground.
