How do you respond to a crisis? At some point in our lives, we all will face hardships, losses, and painful circumstances. Too often, though, we fail to view suffering with an eternal perspective.


However, there is another way to view our trials. The Old Testament patriarch Joseph experienced difficulty, but he learned to react to it wisely. From his example, we can learn how to turn our crises into opportunities.


In this encouraging message, Dr. Stanley teaches us how our heavenly Father always has a purpose for adversity in our lives, and how we can profit from it if we respond correctly.


This message is part of the series "Opportunities Before Us."
