Why God Feels Further Away on Tuesday Than Sunday | Exodus 35:31 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Tuesday 21 April 2026

Does God feel close on Sunday but somehow distant by Tuesday? You're not imagining it - and you're not alone.

In this 5-minute devotional, we look at one of the most quietly extraordinary verses in the whole Bible: a craftsman, a workbench, and the Spirit of God filling an ordinary man to do an ordinary job. It might just change the way you see your whole week.

📖 Today's Scripture
- Exodus 35:31 (NLT)

✅ In this devotional:

- Why God has never been content to stay inside a church building
- What a Bronze Age craftsman teaches us about Monday morning
- Why your work - whatever it is - is already holy ground
- How to practise the presence of God without adding anything to your to-do list
- Your one tiny step for today (it takes just 30 seconds)
