Real Tortoise and Hare Race Takes an Unexpected Turn

A tortoise and a hare faced off in a real race that ended just like the old story we all know.

The two animals were placed side by side to race each other. The rabbit shot ahead right from the start. He was fast and strong. But then he got lazy. He stopped and watched as the tortoise kept going.

That little tortoise moved slow but he never quit. He just kept putting one foot in front of the other.

And you know what happened? He won the race.

We don’t have to be the fastest or the smartest. We just have to keep going. God sees our effort. He sees when we stay faithful even when things move slow.

Some days we feel like that tortoise. We wonder if we will ever get there. But steady steps add up. They always do.

Keep walking your path. Trust that your faithfulness matters to God.

Verse of the Day

“[BOOK ONE Psalms 1–41][The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly] Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.”

Psalm 1:1-2
