Slow and Steady (Ecclesiastes 7:8-9)
Date: January 4, 2017Author: Joel Dorman
Many are familiar with the story of the Hare and Tortoise.
The moral of the story is not that the hare was so much faster, but the patient, steady plodding of the tortoise actually made it to the finish line first because he never stopped.
January 1 can feel like the starting point to another Hare and Tortoise-inspired race to December 31. How appropriate we’re…
Chaos is the fastest way to defeat while steady leadership is certain to bring success.
