Why God Trusts Ordinary People (It's Not What You Think) | Isaiah 22:22 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Wednesday 20 May 2026

What if the thing God is asking of you today isn't something grand - it's simply being faithful with what's already in your hands? That question stopped me in my tracks this week, and I think it might do the same for you.

In this 5-minute devotional we explore one of the most overlooked moments in the Old Testament - Isaiah 22:22 - and discover that when Jesus handed Peter the keys of the kingdom, he was completing a story that began with a man most of us have never heard of: Eliakim the steward.

What you'll take away from this video:

- Why God chooses faithful people over impressive ones
- The difference between holding keys for yourself and for others
- How your ordinary, unnoticed faithfulness is actually kingdom work
- A simple prayer and one tiny step to carry into your day
