Bird Food | April 20th

  “Ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.”

  1 Kings 17:6

  Elijah was God’s messenger, but he still found himself hiding in the wilderness and being fed by birds. Beloved, we serve a God who sees us. He knows who we are and what we need.

  The way the Lord provides for our needs may not always align with our expectations. The people of God received manna from heaven in the wilderness; subsequently, Elijah was sustained by a widow, John the Baptist subsisted on locusts and honey, and David, during a period of great need, consumed bread designated for the priests.

  Provision may manifest as either miraculous or ordinary. It can arrive through the most humble means or, at times, with great abundance. Ultimately, every good and perfect gift originates from God. As children of God, we are called to anticipate the Lord’s provision while also humbling ourselves under His authority.

  Elijah received sustenance each morning and evening through the provision of the ravens. The Lord remains faithful to His servants and will continue to supply all that is necessary. Look to Him today as you entrust your concerns to the Lord, for He has already demonstrated His care for you.

In Christ Alone.
