What If the Scary Step Is Actually the Safe One? | Hebrews 11:8 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Thursday 30 April 2026
What if the thing that makes your stomach flip is actually the safest place you could go? That sounds backwards - but it changed everything for two very different men, centuries apart.
In this 5-minute devotional, we sit with the story of Peter stepping out of the boat (Matthew 14) and Abraham leaving home without a map (Hebrews 11:8) - and ask what God might be saying to you right now.
In this video:
- Why staying in the boat can quietly become the faithless choice
- What Peter and Abraham both discovered about stepping into the unknown
- How John Henry Newman found courage in the dark
- What to do when fear - not lack of planning - is what's stopping you
- Your one small Holy Step for today
