"The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
"Hosanna!"
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Blessed is the King of Isreal!"
Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,
"Don't be afraid, O Daughter of Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt." (Zech. 9:9)
At first his disciples did not understand all this. ONLY AFTER Jesus was glorified did they REALIZE that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him." John 12:12-16
There are some things going on in our lives RIGHT NOW, that we may simply not understand. However, there WILL come a time when we WILL REALIZE what was really going on.
REALIZE means to comprehend completely or correctly.
Jesus says in John 13:7:
"You do not realize NOW what I am doing, BUT LATER you WILL UNDERSTAND."
You may not comprehend completely or correctly right now what Jesus is doing in your life, but later you will see his wisdom and perhaps why things needed to happen the way they did. Be joyful in hope that someday you will understand. If not here on earth, most definately in heaven.
"Now I know in part; then I shall know FULLY, even as I am fully known." 1 Corinthians 13:12
You are not alone. May we say:
"But I TRUST in YOU, O LORD;
I say, "You are my God."
My times are in your hands."
Psalm 31:14

God is at work. He is very aware of all our situations. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He knows what is best. He knows what is to come. He knows what we need before we even ask. He can be trusted.
"I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me." Phillipians 1:25 & 26
