In Chapter 17, we see how having God’s goal clearly in view changes the way we run the race. Many settle for lesser ends—salvation, a “separated life,” a ministry accomplishment—and stop there. But God’s sons are called to live and run toward His supreme purpose, not just personal milestones.

This chapter unpacks three vital laws for staying in the race: the power of a goal that pulls us forward, the unfolding of God’s intention as we walk in obedience, and the law of spiritual perspective that keeps distant eternal purposes from being obscured by near and temporary concerns.

Whether it’s Abraham, Israel, Paul, or the Church, God first gives the “bud” of His intention and reveals more as we obey. Our challenge is to avoid Esau’s mistake of trading an eternal birthright for a short-term satisfaction. Walking in His light enables us to keep every “telephone pole” of experience aligned with His eternal horizon.

Here we go!
