God of the Double Portion: He Cares for the Birds, He Cares for You Too
Sometimes, God speaks in the quietest moments — a whisper in prayer, the flutter of birds outside, or a small, unexpected blessing. Over the past few days, I’ve experienced His care in ways that left me in awe: from a lost package that turned into a double portion, to prophetic confirmations from friends, to tender lessons through my son. Each moment reminded me that God sees us, provides for us, and is faithful even when life feels uncertain.
One morning, I was sitting in my car in prayer, seeking guidance and just being still with Him. As I looked up, little birds were flitting around the trees, and in that simple, peaceful moment, the verse came to my heart:
“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” (Matthew 6:26)
It felt like the Lord was whispering directly to me: “If I take care of them, how much more will I take care of you?”
At the same time, I found myself reading the book of Job, reflecting on how he lost everything yet received double in the end. I didn’t realize God was about to give me a glimpse of that same promise in my own life.
It began with a package — one I had ordered being delivered to my old address, a place I no longer had access to. My chest sank with frustration. Although, I was able to get in contact with the residents at my old address— there was doubt of the package not being returned. So, the next morning, I contacted the company & surprisingly they offered to send me an entirely new package free of charge. I later got confirmation that— the residents did retrieve the package and that it would be waiting for me to come and pick up. In that moment, I realized God didn’t just restore what I thought I lost — He multiplied it. I had both the old and the new. Just like Job, I received double, and it felt intentional and personal.
Later that day, I bumped into a close friend of mine a work — a woman full of wisdom and prophetic insight. We shared a conversation in which the presence of the Holy Spirit was unmistakable. She confirmed what God had been impressing on my heart, not only about how discomfort can push us toward the new — not as punishment, but as preparation — but also about the ways God knocks on the door of our lives. He invites us into new seasons, and it’s up to us to take the leap of faith. Sometimes that invitation comes through our circumstances, through the pressure of feeling uncomfortable, or through moments that challenge us to trust Him. We have to respond, open the door, and step into what He has prepared.
Then, another dear friend shared prophetic art from her group. Every piece featured birds. God’s message seemed to repeat over and over: “If I care for the birds, I will care for you.” Even the videos that appeared in my TikTok feed that day mirrored the same Scripture. Everywhere I looked, I saw reminders of God’s faithfulness, provision, and perfect timing.
That night, God spoke to me in a tender, personal way through my son. He had misplaced something for school and was worried about what others might think. He feared his classmates would notice or that his teacher would be upset. He didn’t want to tell anyone, worried he might get in trouble. In his distress, I sat beside him and said:
“You have nothing to worry about. If it’s a big deal, the teacher will let me know. But you already came to me first, and now I can respond knowing your heart. You’re safe. You’re fine. It’s okay. You’re not in trouble. I’ve got you covered. There’s nothing to fear.”
In that quiet moment, I felt God whisper to my heart: “That’s exactly how I feel about you. Who do you have to fear? You don’t have to fear human opinions or circumstances. If I am for you, who can be against you? I already know your heart.”
Through these moments — the package, the prophetic words, the art, the reminders in unexpected places, and even the small, tender moment with my son… God reminded me that His care is personal and His provision is faithful. It’s not dependent on others, circumstances, or what we see around us. He knows our hearts, goes before us, and protects, provides, and prepares the way.
Even in seasons where it feels like everything is lost or uncertain, God is already working behind the scenes. He cares for us deeply and our circumstances. No matter how challenging they may seem; they cannot overcome His power. Our finances, careers, past mistakes, failed relationships, health, or any situation that feels impossible are never bigger than our God. When we keep our eyes on Him and remember who He is, we can trust that He is faithful, He sees us, and He is already moving in ways we cannot yet imagine — turning what was broken into something greater and preparing us for the blessings He has in store.
