Life is likened to a race because it involves movement or progression and there are winners and losers. Unfortunately, many people do not know this fact and consequently live carelessly. Just like in a race, there are more spectators than participants.
Do not forsake your race of life by being a spectator and watching others run. What do you need to do to win in the race of life? First, identify the race set out for you. "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." (Hebrews 12:1). Second, run to win.
