Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Tuesday, October 24th.

God wants to mold us into his image.

Let's learn about how he shapes us so we fit perfectly into his plan.

Here's part two of God's purpose in the storms of life.

God is a God of purpose.

If you'll start in Genesis, the first chapter,

you'll find God doesn't respond to things by happenstance,

and God is not a responder.

God is an initiator.

And so when we look at God, God is a god of purpose.

And he says that he is engineering all of our circumstances

according to his good pleasure and to his goodwill and for our good and for his glory.

So what I want us to dwell upon is this. What are the

purpose is that God has in mind for allowing or sending these storms into our

life? Now we said it could be something God initiates, it could be something we are

are responsible for or it could be something we are responsible for or it could be something

that Satan does directly or through someone else.

But the real issue is what is God's purpose?

I'm going to give you five words. The first word is this,

because this is one of God's primary purposes for sending, allowing the storm. Now remember what he said.

God causes all things that work together for good.

So it doesn't make any difference what the nature of the storm is.
