In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, when we don't understand why.

When I find myself going through some difficult situation in life,

I always think about this old gospel song.

It goes, trials dark on every hand,

and I cannot understand all the ways that God would lead me

through His blessed promised land.

But He'll guide me with His eye, and I'll follow till I die,

and I'll understand it better by and by.

By and by when the morning comes, when the saints of God are all gathered home, we'll

tell the story of how we've overcome, and we'll understand it better by and by.

Well, when I think about that, and I think about the trials and difficulties

we face in life, we all have different kind of attitudes about it when that happens to us.

People sometimes become very, very angry with God, and sometimes people begin to rejoice

because they know that God is doing something very

special in their life.

Well, what I want to talk about in this message is this.

What about when we don't understand why?

What about when we don't understand why?

And God's not going to always tell us why.

And it's very evident, for example, that we don't figure it all out.

And people respond in different ways.
