You're going to. In touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley,

reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Next on in touch,

the dark moments in our life.

If you want God's best in your life and you want to make your life

then you can expect to travel the road of adversity. It's always there. And it's amazing how somehow God uses

adversities in our life to shape us, to make us fit, and to equip us to do the things that he desires to do in us and through us in life.

And when you think about what adversity is, adversity is those dark moments in our life. That is the times when we feel tried and tempted.

We feel hurt, misused, and abused, We feel depressed, anxious, fearful, thoughtless, sinful, depressed, you name

it. All those things that person goes to sorrow and loss these are dark

moments in our life and God does not promise that we'll have life without

dark moments we are going to have them and what we have to ask is this how are we going to respond to them and the way we respond to them is determined by a number of things one of which is how long that moment of darkness lasts.

Somebody says, well, for me,

it hasn't been a moment of darkness.

It's been hours, days, weeks, moments, years of darkness.

Well, let's ask the question, why do you think God has allowed that in your life for so long.

So I want to bring you to one of the life principles of the life principle Bible,

because it is a principle by which God operates,

every one of these principles is true of it.

So I want to put this on the screen so you can write it down

and you'll not forget it because this is what we're going to be talking about.

The dark moments of our life last only as long as is necessary for God to accomplish his purpose.
