How has God encouraged you today?

Today, I am thinking about encouragement. Philippians gives us
this wonderful verse....
Philippians (HCSB)
2:1 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any
consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any
affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by thinking the same way,
having the same love, sharing the same feelings, focusing on one
goal. 3 Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility
consider others as more important than yourselves. 4 Everyone
should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the
interests of others.
So how has God encouraged you today or leave an encouraging word
for someone else....it's all about encouraging each other.

Philippians Chapter 2 - KJV -
If there be therefore any [color=red][size=12pt]consolation in
Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit,
if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love,
being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on
the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be
equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form
of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and
became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a
name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my
presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your
own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of
his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God,
without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day
of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in
vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of
your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto
you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for
your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus
Christ's.
22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father,
he hath served with me in the gospel.
23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall
see how it will go with me.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come
shortly.
25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my
brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your
messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness,
because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on
him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have
sorrow upon sorrow.
28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see
him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold
such in reputation:
30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not
regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward
me.[/size][/color]

The first scriptures that come to mind that encourages me and I
hope encourages everyone else are these:
Rom. 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither
death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the
present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to
separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
John 10:28 "And I am giving them eternal life, and they shall
never perish, and no one shall snatch them from my hand." 29
"For my Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no
one is able to snatch anything from my Father's hand."
