What God Does is Best.

A Rabbi reached a city late in the evening; the gates were shut, and he must sleep outside in the open air. What God does is the best for me said the Rabbi, and laid himself down to rest.

In the night a storm arose which extinguished the light of his lantern, and a lion came and devoured the ass on which he rode. Still the Rabbi said, what God does is best for me.

At daylight he found that a band of robbers had plundered the city in the night and murdered the inhabitants. Said I not continued the Rabbi, what God does is best for me?

We sometimes learn in the morning why God put us to inconvenience the night before—The Talmud.
