St. Augustine

From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you." He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do" (Matthew 16: 21-23).

We have to realize that God is a lot more intelligent than we are. We will not understand everything in life but that is OK. God does. Trust in Him.

Lord Jesus, I trust in You. I know You will always be there for me.
