In this episode I share an inspirational challenge as we begin a new year. Have you ever had a time when you encountered a message that came from multiple sources, but you were able to hear the voice of God speaking consistently through it? Well, recently that has been the case for me and I want to share this message with you in hopes that it might encourage you as well.

• What if you knew you couldn't mess up God's plans for your life this year?

• Quote from Jordan Raynor in Redeeming Your Time:
• "But in His great grace, our heavenly Father has given us a tremendous amount of freedom to choose exactly how we will contribute to that mission. And guess what? As long as you are obeying his commands, you can't make a wrong decision."

• Scripture I've read recently:

Psalm 1: Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

4 But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.6 For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

• I've also recently been challenged by John Michael Clark (The Family Captain) (Episode #308) with the reality that God put Adam in the garden with the mandate to:
• "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
• God is our Father who is pleased to see his children filling the earth, subduing it, and ruling over it for His glory.
• Recently I had a powerful coaching call with someone in which we discovered an awesome breakthrough: If I am delighting myself in the Lord, I can trust the desires of my heart.
• What if you knew you couldn't mess up God's plans for your life this year?
• What would you attempt to do for His glory and the good of others?
