You Never Stop Working
“But Jesus answered them, ‘My Father is working until now, and I am working.’” – John 5:17 (ESV)
While browsing YouTube for some music to listen to, a video popped up that deeply disturbed my spirit. As I played worship music in the background, I began to pray. Even after the first song ended, I continued pouring out my concerns to God about what I had seen.
Then, the song Way Maker began to play. I wasn’t fully tuned in at first—until I heard the lyrics:
“Even when I don’t see that You’re working, even when I don’t feel that You’re working, You never stop, You never stop working.”
In that moment, I knew God was answering my prayers. The enemy had tried to drag my mind into a spiral of sorrow, but the Lord interrupted it with a reminder of His constant presence and power.
I couldn’t help but thank God! Things might look bleak or feel overwhelming, but appearances don’t define reality. Time and time again in Scripture, whenever Israel found itself in a desperate situation and cried out to God, He was already at work behind the scenes, orchestrating their deliverance.
I’m convinced that as I was praying, God was saying, “I hear you, and I’ve already taken care of it.”
I’m reminded of the Jews living in Persia when Haman—second in command to the king—issued a decree sealed with the king’s signet ring to annihilate them. The news caused great mourning. They put on sackcloth and ashes and cried out to God with loud, bitter wailing.
But here’s the powerful truth: God already had the answer prepared before the problem ever surfaced. He positioned Esther for such a time as that—to bring about their deliverance.
The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He never changes. Just as He cared for His people then, He still moves on behalf of those He has called today.
He is always working—even when we can’t see it or feel it.
Hallelujah! He is our King! He is the Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness—and so much more.
