S1:E10 - Don’t Waste the Wilderness

Don’t Waste the Wilderness (Exodus 13:17–18)Sometimes God leads us the long way, not the fast way. The delay might not be denial—it might be for your development. In this short devotional, discover how God uses wilderness seasons to prepare you for the promise.

Episode 9 – God is With You in the FireEven when life feels like a furnace, you are not alone. In Daniel 3:25, we see that God doesn’t always remove the fire—but He promises to be in it with us. This episode of Less Than 5 Devos will encourage you to stand firm, trust His presence, and remember that His power shines brightest in the flames.

Obedience Unlocks Blessing | Less Than 5 DevosGod’s blessings aren’t random—they’re often tied to simple, faithful steps of obedience. In this episode, we unpack Deuteronomy 28:1–2 and see how small “yeses” to God can open the door to big blessings. From Peter’s simple act of casting his net in Luke 5 to the everyday choices we face, obedience positions us for what only God can do.Listen in and be encouraged to take that step God’s been prompting you to take—because the blessing isn’t just in the outcome, it’s in the obedience itself.#Obedience #FaithSteps #LessThan5Devos #BibleEncouragement

Episode 7 – Stay in Your LaneGalatians 6:4–5 reminds us to focus on our own race. But in a world full of scrolling, comparison, and self-doubt, that’s easier said than done.In this episode of Less Than 5 Devos, we expose the subtle lies of comparison and find truth in God's Word. Comparison says, “You’re behind.” God says, “I’ve ordered your steps.” It’s time to stop looking side to side and fix our eyes on the race marked out for us. Because your purpose isn’t found in their lane—it’s found in yours. Hit play. Stay grounded. And remember: five minutes in God’s Word can shift your day.#LessThan5Devos #StayInYourLane #Galatians6 #FaithOverComparison #DevotionalPodcast #RunYourRace
