The weeks leading up to Christmas tend to be so busy for all of us, that even regular habits of intentional, quiet listening can fall to the wayside. Quiet on Purpose is here to help us all take a few short minutes, even just once a week, to quiet our bodies, and our hearts, and listen to God. This week, we're following the traditional church calendar into the second week of Advent - the anticipation of the arrival of the Christ child. This year, each of our Advent episodes will be longer portions from a Psalm.  Today our second Advent episode is on Joy, from Psalm 16. Listen in! *Also, scroll for the link below to a beautiful Christmas carol on Joy!

Questions from today's episode: Have you ever experienced the joy that the psalmist is talking about in this Psalm? Are you experiencing it now? If you've never experienced it, could it be that you are pursuing something other than a relationship with God as your ultimate prize and source of joy? Listen quietly for the invitation God might be extending to you today. Consider how you will respond.
