What is your response to trials? Do you focus on escaping hardships or do you seek God’s will for you within your difficulties? Wise people don’t go through challenges with a sense of hopelessness and helplessness, but want to find out what God is accomplishing in their lives.


In this message, Dr. Stanley says that wisdom asks four questions:


1. What is the right thing to do in light of my past circumstances?
2. What is the right thing to do in light of my present state?
3. What is the right thing to do in light of my future foals and dreams?
4. What would God have me to do in this situation?


Wisdom can help us discern the source of our hardships and the purpose of them. It also guides us in how to respond to our troubles. Learn to let the wisdom of God direct your actions and experience the peace that comes with living according to the will of God.
