The Tension of Obedience: John 7:1–24: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study
In this episode, Rachael Groll looks at John 7 and the tension Jesus faced between obedience to God and the pressure to please others. She unpacks how Jesus responded to misunderstanding, criticism, and timing with wisdom and humility: and what that means for us today. Through this story, Rachael reminds listeners that faith sometimes means waiting on God when the world is pushing for action. When we trust His timing and listen for His voice above the noise, we learn how to walk in quiet confidence, even when others don’t understand.
