这场竞争的名字就是信心和信赖。
上主喜欢看一看你是否具有真正的信心，是否在不论发生什么事的情况下都依然信任他。有时，他会来考验我们的信心，直到最后一步、最危险的时刻、以至死亡的边缘，并以此来让我们显示真正的信心。如果你真想得胜的话，你就必须有信心；你就必须甘愿信赖上主，不论生或死、浮或沉，都如同旧约中的约伯一样。约伯终于得胜，使他的经历成了整本《圣经》中最荣耀的见证之一：虽然他历尽苦难、失败和挫折，然而却保持了帮他度过所有难关的信心。
这就是所有胜利中最大的胜利：在貌似失败的情况下仍然信赖上主！最伟大的、最能令上帝高兴的事情则是，即使当你看来像是被击败时，仍能像约伯那样，无论如何都去信赖他！上主一定很喜欢这种信心！– 无论你面临灾难、面临痛苦、面临死亡，都仍然持有信心！（希伯来书11:6;约翰一书5:4）
他很高兴看到你能在所有的考验和试炼面前仍然取胜！他喜欢看到你得胜–赢得赛程，忍受苦难和争战，一直奋斗到最后的胜利！因此，愿上帝祝福和保持你的信心！

The name of the game is faith and trust.
Sometimes God lets our faith be tested right to the brink in order to prove that it’s real faith. He can even make it appear as if He is being a little too hard on us, so we’re tempted to think, “How could God let that sort of thing happen?” The Devil is always around to try to make us doubt and even criticise God, like he did with Job.
We’ve got to be willing to trust God, live or die, sink or swim, like Job. Despite the loss of everything dear to him, Job kept trusting God. He finally overcame, and in the end God gave him back more than he had lost. Job’s is one of the most glorious testimonies in the whole Bible. In the face of suffering and defeat and discouragement, his faith carried him through.
That’s the greatest victory of all—when we seem to be defeated and still trust God. He must really be pleased with that kind of faith. “This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith” (1 John 5:4). God loves to watch us make it in spite of all the tests and trials. He loves to watch us run and win the race, endure the affliction, and fight through to victory!
