經文：「因為凡從神生的，就勝過世界。使我們勝了世界的，就是我們的信心。」（約壹5:4） 在基督徒的生命路程中，常常會遇見網羅和陷阱，使他跌倒、墮落、失去得勝與平安。因為撒但從來不肯罷休；不肯放棄攻擊、誘惑或任何可能毀滅神兒女的事工的機會。所以，我們應該在路程中隨時檢查自己是否失去得勝。 有時我們可以得勝；如果我們願意在獅子口中反敗為勝，如果我們在千鈞一髮之際運用信心。這信心就可以創造時勢，改變環境。然後無論處境如何黑暗，如何凶危，只要用信心和神合一敏銳地聯合，勝敗就可以瞬間翻轉。 神始終坐在寶座上，如果我們可以眞實信靠祂，祂絕對可以在一秒之內反敗為勝。 一個有信心的人，從來不會向後退；他在遇見仇敵的地方，立刻攔阻仇敵的前進。--福煦將軍 Marshal Foch 新譯｜荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "For every child of God overcomes the world: and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith" (1 John 5:4, Weymouth). At every turn in the road one can find something that will rob him of his victory and peace of mind, if he permits it. Satan is a long way from having retired from the business of deluding and ruining God's children if he can. At every milestone it is well to look carefully to the thermometer of one's experience, to see whether the temperature is well up. Sometimes a person can, if he will, actually snatch victory from the very jaws of defeat, if he will resolutely put his faith up at just the right moment. Faith can change any situation. No matter how dark it is, no matter what the trouble may be, a quick lifting of the heart to God in a moment of real, actual faith in Him, will alter the situation in a moment. God is still on His throne, and He can turn defeat into victory in a second of time, if we really trust Him. "When one has faith, one does not retire; one stops the enemy where he finds him." --Marshal Foch ｜ Mrs. Charles Cowman
