Why Your Darkest Season Isn't Proof God Has Left You | Isaiah 45:7 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Monday 6 July 2026
Have you ever felt like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong? You're not alone, and today's devotional might just change how you see those dark seasons.
In this opening message of our new series Hidden Riches: Discovering Treasure in Life's Darkest Moments, we open Isaiah 45:7 and discover a truth that's as unsettling as it is comforting: God's sovereignty covers every season, not just the good ones. Through the surprising story of Cyrus the Persian king, and the honest reality of spiritual growth in the dark, you'll be reminded that your current struggle might be the very place God is doing his deepest work.
What you'll discover:
- Why God's sovereignty isn't selective
- How darkness can become sacred space
- What Cyrus teaches us about unlikely instruments
- One simple step to trust God today
