This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Today we begin a series called The Foundation of a Life Well Lift.

In these teachings, Rick shows us that God has given each one of us something special,

whether it's talent, education, opportunities, ideas, or creativity, and he wants us to

use what he's given us for his glory and for our benefit.

In just a few moments, we're going to tell you how you can get a beautifully illustrated

devotional for children by Pastor Rick that will help them discover how much God loves

them and that he has a special plan and purpose for their life.

You can find out more by going to PastorRick.com while you listen to today's message, or

you can just text the word daily to 800, 600, 5,000, for more information.

Right now, here's Pastor Rick with Part One of a Message called Your Timing is Everything.

Every great accomplishment involves the element of timing.

You know, there are a lot of football playoffs on now these days and a successful catch

in a football game requires incredible timing between a quarterback and the receiver.

And if they don't have the timing spot on, there's just no reception.

There's no touchdown.

The same is true in business success, whether it's an investment or whether it's a new project

or a new plan, good timing in the market, good timing in knowing when to hire, when to

expand, timing is everything in business success.

Same thing in music.

If you're a singer or if you're a musician, you must know how to keep talking.

If you can't keep time, please get off the stage because timing is everything.
