One morning recently when I stepped outside my front door, I was greeted by the cheerful sound of birds chirping from a nearby electrical structure. They were carrying on like old friends catching up—some arriving, some departing, and others just settling in. For a few minutes, it was a flurry of feathers and chatter, and then, just as suddenly as they had gathered, they all flew away together.

As I watched, it struck me: those birds, and countless others across the world, are alive today because they’ve been provided for. Every worm, seed, and scrap they need to survive is somehow there, every single day. They don’t stockpile pantries or stress about tomorrow’s meals—yet they thrive. Almighty God sees to it that even these small creatures are cared for.

If He cares that much for the birds, how much more will He take care of you and me?

“Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?” — Matthew 6:26 (CSB)
