Longtime Fence Sitter
My brother's spaghetti squash on the fence grew between two slats and around the wire below it! It's wedged in good, he wiggled it and it did not want to come off! The little spider likes this fence sitter!
A fence sitter is a term for someone who can't decide which side he wants to be on, so he just stays put!
Fence sitting is 'a state of indecision or neutrality with respect to conflicting positions.' Neutral is like lukewarm, a place between hot and cold.
It reminds me of this verse spoken by Jesus in a vision to John:
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:14-22
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Which side of the fence are YOU on? Are you hot or cold or a lukewarm fence sitter?There is no room for a Christian to be neutral, lukewarm, undecided. It's all or nothing! Totally on fire for Jesus or a pew warming inactive fence sitter. Let's all get off the fence we have been perched on! Let's preach, teach, evangelize,give,serve, go, do! If already on fire for Jesus, pray for those cold and those lukewarm. Sitting too long on the fence is dangerous. One can die and rot like this squash will do! Jesus will rebuke and chasten those He loves. Be zealous, be an OVERCOMER! Thanks, blessings, Kathie
