Encouragement from the Word

My tme in the bible this morning was in Phillipians 3 and I was greatly encouraged by this passage.  The business continues to struggle, and if I took my encouragement by what I see with my physical senses there would be little to be encouraqged about.  Sometimes the Lord uses other Christians to encourage us but there is nothing like taking in the Word of God to keep my thinking on the right path and see his work in my life.
     I came to know the Lord when I was nine and this passage talks about knowing Christ and the power of His resurrection.  This is the Lord's work but the passage encourages us to not look at our immediate circumstances but to "press on" toward what the Lord has for me in the future.  I am encouraged to work hard at the tasks set before me but know that the Lord is also at work.
