Anyone can start a race, but finishing it requires planning and training. A good long-distance runner knows the importance of planning their race. Once they cross the starting line, they are already thinking about how they will cross the finish line. Once they take the first step, they have already planned how they will take the last step of the race.
As a Christian, you are already running the race of life. In this race, you are not competing against other people, but against the mortal enemies that are the world, the flesh, and the devil. How do you fight them? How do you plan to keep pace throughout the race? To win the prize, you need to run to the finish, you need to cross the finish line. For that, you need to plan your race. You need to plan how you will run today so that you can continue running on difficult days. That's what this book is about.
