CHOOSE JOY: a Minute in the Word

Book excerpt: I love the Bible verses that are full of God's promises. They're easy to embrace. Then I stumble on a verse like this and it stops me in my tracks: "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him" (Psalm 37:7).Hard. Harder. Hardest. Be still. Wait. Patiently. I'm not good at any of those. But maybe, just maybe, there's something good here for us. God is inviting us to pause in His presence. To trust in His plan. And to wait for Him. Either to move the mountain-or to move in our hearts.That's why CHOOSE JOY features 100 Scripture-based devotions, prayers, and journaling prompts to help you and me experience a joy-filled life. By being still. Listening. Lingering before the One who beckons us to come close so that our joy may be complete.Sandi Brown is the Founder and President of 99.1 JOY FM and BOOST Radio.
