When You Have Nothing Left, Can You Still Trust God? | 1 Kings 17 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Sunday 24 May 2026

Are you waiting to feel ready before you take the next step? You might be waiting a very long time. This short devotional looks at one of the most honest verses in the whole Bible - and why waiting for perfect conditions is exactly how purpose gets buried.

In this 5-minute devotional, you'll discover:

- Why "waiting until I'm ready" is often just fear in disguise
- What a farmer, the apostle Peter, and a 19th-century hymn have in common
- Three truths about purpose, calling, and what it actually means to follow
- One small, practical step you can take today - even if you don't feel certain

📖 Scripture focus: Ecclesiastes 11:4
