Where Is God When Everything Falls Apart? | Acts 17:27 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Wednesday 8 July 2026
Where is God when your whole world feels like it's falling apart? If you've ever asked that in the middle of a crisis, you're not alone.
In this 5-minute devotional we look at a real story from Hastings in May 2024, when a burst water main left 35,000 people without running water for six days. What happened next was unexpected - and it changes how we think about God's presence in our own hard seasons. Drawing from Acts 17:27, we discover why help is often closer than we think.
In this devotional you'll find:
- Why God's closeness in crisis rarely looks dramatic
- How Acts 17:27 speaks to anyone feeling overwhelmed
- What the Hastings water crisis teaches us about community
- A simple way to become God's nearness to someone else today
