Sanctified Steps: God feeds the birds… and He hasn’t forgotten you.G| Matthew 6:26 (KJV)

God feeds the birds: Matthew 6:26

 📖 Scripture:

"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" — Matthew 6:26 (KJV)

Devotional:

There’s something humbling about watching birds: they flutter, forage, and sing without worrying where their next meal will come from. Jesus points us to this daily miracle not to romanticize simplicity, but to remind us of God’s relentless faithfulness. Birds don’t store. They receive.

We live in a world of stockpiling, scheduling, and scarcity mindsets. But this verse invites us back to a posture of trust. You're not a forgotten sparrow—you are a beloved child. If God feeds the birds, He will feed you—spiritually, emotionally, and practically. Maybe not all at once, but always right on time.

Daily Wisdom Insight:

When Jesus spoke these words, He was speaking to people burdened by real need—just like you. This wasn’t abstract theology; it was compassionate assurance. He sees your bills, your tears, your sighs. But He doesn’t just see—He provides. Even if it’s not in the form you expected.

Sometimes, the blessing isn’t abundance—it’s sufficiency. A full heart. A quiet mind. Strength for this step. Like manna in the desert, it may not be enough to store—but it will be enough to sustain.

Reflection:

• Are you looking to tomorrow with fear or today with faith?
• What would it look like to trust God for just today’s portion?

Application:

 Reread Matthew 6:25–34 and note every time Jesus reminds us not to worry. Then ask yourself:

• What have I been trying to “store” in fear?
• What might God be asking me to release, so He can refill?

Consider writing down one small area where you’ve seen God quietly provide this week — even if it was just peace in the middle of waiting.

Prayer:

Lord,

I confess how often I cling to what I think I need.
But You feed the birds without barns… and I am so much more to You.
Teach me to rest in Your rhythm—daily, sacred, steady.
Give me eyes to see provision even when it's disguised as stillness.
You are the God who is always enough.

Amen.
