I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards. (Abraham Lincoln)
“Slow and steady wins the race,” they say. But unless it’s a childhood game, walking backwards doesn’t win. It’s steadfastness, consistency, persistence in the right direction and in the right task that wins in the end.
Let us throw off everything that hinders . . . and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (Hebrews 12:1)
