If you see a turtle on a fence post you can be sure he didn’t get there by himself. Natural ability, self-discipline and hard work will only take you so far. To fulfill your ultimate destiny, you will need some help along the way. David had his mighty men (2 Samuel 23:8-39) and the apostle Paul had a host of co-works who enabled him to accomplish his vision (see Romans 16:1-15). God will bring the people you need into your life, but it is up to you to recognize them and respond accordingly.

“Be sure to welcome our friend Phoebe…She deserves anything you can do for her. She’s helped many a person, including me.”

— Romans 16:1-2 (MSG)

Lord Jesus, thank you for all the Godly people who helped this “turtle” get on the fence post. My fence post may not be very tall, but I would have never gotten here without them. Bless them I pray. Amen.
