Thou Shalt Know Hereafter

John 13:7 KJV
Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

Jesus said there were things the disciples could not understand right then, but would later on.
Some things they would understand when Jesus rose from the grave and ascended to heaven
Some things they would come to understand over the course of their life as the Holy Spirit gave them instruction

No doubt
Some things they did not understand until the day they stood beside the Lord in glory.

I am sure the same is true in our cases. There are things that Almighty God does that make no good sense to us. But when we come to know the Lord as Saviour, some of those things begin to make sense. Some things that happen in our lives begin to take on meaning over the years as we walk with the Lord and as we learn His Word. And some things we just won't get figured out until we get to heaven.

The key to it all is to trust the Lord regardless of whether we understand. After all that is what faith is. If we only obey the Lord when we understand what He is doing, we have never really walked by faith.
