In this contemplative devotional episode, Nick Oyler reflects on John 5:16–18 in the New Living Translation (NLT). Jesus’ healing on the Sabbath leads to opposition from Jewish leaders, but He responds by revealing His intimate relationship with the Father: “My Father is always working, and so am I.”
Listeners are invited to consider how Jesus shares in the Father’s ongoing work and what it means to trust that God is active even in confusing or painful circumstances. A simple practice helps you remember God’s presence and activity in the middle of daily frustrations.
