“Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” — John 13:7 (KJV)
Reflection:
There are many moments in our walk with Christ when we do not understand what God is doing. We may face trials, delays, disappointments, or confusion. We might ask, “Lord, why is this happening?” Just like the disciples who could not understand why Jesus would wash their feet, there are times when God is working behind the scenes in ways we cannot see yet.
But Jesus gives us this blessed assurance: “You may not understand now… but you will later.” God never moves without purpose. His timing is perfect, His plan is wise, and His love is constant. Trust Him even when you cannot trace Him. What confuses you today will be clear tomorrow. What hurts now will make sense later. The same God who holds the future is the One who walks with you today.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that Your ways are higher than my ways and that Your plans are always for my good. When I face things I do not understand, give me peace, patience, and faith to trust You. Help me to remember that You are always working, even when I cannot see it. Strengthen my heart to rely on Your promise that in time, You will make all things clear. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
