Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Blessed in the Mess.

Choosing to trust God despite our circumstances is the answer to everything.

This doesn't mean we sit back and do nothing while God fixes all our problems.

It means we can live with joy and be a blessing to someone else while he works things

out in his way and in his perfect timing.

If we tend to God's business, he will take care of ours.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

So for those of you tonight, either here in the building or watching from home,

and you feel like everything in your world is shaking,

I understand what you're going through,

but I can tell you that many of those things that are shaking are things that you don't really need in your life anyway.

They're not stable things,

and God's going to give you something that is stable,

which is more of him.

Do you know, the less of other stuff you have,

the more of God there's room for in your life?

I remember one time moaning,

oh, God, I just don't have anybody but you. Poor joy is just stuck with God. Isn't that terrible?

All right, verse 26. Then at Mount Sinai, his voice shook the earth.

But now he has given a promise, yet once more I will shake and make tremble not only

the earth but also the starry heavens.
