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.


This message is part of the series "Wisdom from Above."

    I miss this man. How the world needs more like him. I take comfort in knowing he will be teaching people for decades to come through his recordings.

    He's a blessed preacher. I love how he speaks from the word, doesn't shout and doesn't pretend to be a comedian like so many pastors are trying to do. Thanks Dr Stanley.
  • I'm Blessed to have heard his preaching and sermons for over 30 years. He is missed every day. He is in Heaven now.
  • People who have said Charles Stanley is a fake are blasphemous. Stanley never talks out of his personal opinion he always uses the Bible. He always puts scripture first. Always makes sense. He is someone who talks with peace and that means he lives and speaks with the holy spirit. That's how you know a preacher is good. He is a good one. God Bless Charles Stanley.

    I have been watching Charles Stanley since I was 30. I am 57 now and I have had some terrible and hard sufferings. I have walked away from God a few times and caught up in sin and miserable. I always find my way back, because God has never forgotten me. I love the Lord and I do not want to live in this world without Him. Charles Stanley helps me everyday with his sermons. He is so awesome, And teaches the word of God correctly. There are so many preachers that teach God's word incorrectly. Thank you Dr. Stanley. I love you and I pray for you to continue as long as God keeps you here. May God bless you always!
  • You know….Dr Charles is like vintage wine. He is a soothing calm mature wonderful voice amidst all the trouble and distress in the world. He calls a spade a spade but grounded on the Word of God.

  • @AR777bomb
    I love his calm soothing voice and his simplistic style of preaching. I resonate with him very well. It's kind of a breath of fresh air.

  • @Jenn4rmblk
    I literally listen to this everyday. I’m currently walking through a valley. Im trying to patiently wait bc I know God is working for my good 😢
  • @XSNN1
    Crying that Jesus saves all the people who disliked God's word. I pray that Jesus reveals himself to them so they can see the truth which's in Jesus only. Amen.

    “His goal is never to defeat you but to develop you.” Father, I’m going to trust you because you know what’s best for me.

    Lord have mercy on my life and grant me the strength to endure these trials. Please pray for me! My brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus
  • Few pastors preach God's word with this simplicity yet going to the core of one's soul. Gob bless this man of God because i am stronger because of what he preaches
