Connecting Lives, Building Faith, Releasing Destiny
ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS
Go Steady
Most of us probably remember hearing Aesop's story of The Tortoise and the Hare as a child.
An epic race between the two animals. One that everyone thought would end with the hare winning. After all, he could jump and move with immense speed and the tortoise was very slow.
But after a speedy start, the hare decided to lie down and take a quick nap along the path. After all, he was way ahead of the tortoise. But as the hare slept, the tortoise, slow but steady, caught up to the hare and ended up winning the race.
The moral of that story is that speed does not always guarantee success in life. Most of the time, slow and steady will get you further than fast and prideful.
The same can be said for our Christian lives. Walking with integrity and honour is like walking at a slow and steady pace. It may not always deliver fast results. But the Bible says that faithfulness and trustworthiness will be rewarded greatly in the end and attract many blessings.
Proverbs 28:20 says:
The trustworthy person will get a rich reward, but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.
Don't try to shortcut your way through obedience to Christ and His Way. And don't be discouraged and compare yourself to others that seem further ahead in an area of life you are striving toward. Instead, continue on with Jesus, one steady step at a time, and run your race as a faithful, trustworthy child of God!
