Just read in Job 17:9,
"The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger."
Now Psalm 37:3-7 speaks to this also,
"Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass."
This involves a continuing, a PRESSING and CONTINUING, as I'm reading John Bunyans "The Heavenly Footman" where he writes of running the race that you may obtain:
"Pressing. This running in another place is called a pressing. "I press toward the mark;" (Phi. 3:14) which signifieth that they that will have heaven, must not stick at any difficulties they meet with; but press, crowd, and thrust through all, that may stand between heaven and their souls. So run.
3. Continuing. This running is called in another place, a continuing in the way of life. "If ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel." Not to run a little now and then, by fits and starts; or half-way; or almost thither; but to run for my life, to run through all difficulties, and to continue therein to the end of the race, which must be to the end of my life. "So run, that ye may obtain." (Pg. 17)
So trusting goes along with running, pressing, and continuing: for as Job speaks also of HOLDING on your way, and that those with clean hands (that is, purity of life) shall be stronger and stronger.
