This stillness isn’t passive; it’s a choosing, a turning your eyes off the noise and onto the One who holds your heart. How different would your day be if you leaned in fully to that moment instead of chasing the next distraction?

Consider Jesus’ words in John 10:14-15: “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” The depth of intimacy here is staggering. Jesus doesn’t just know us by name; He knows us completely, and we’re invited to know Him fully—and through Him, to know the Father’s heart.

Look back at the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42. Both women welcomed Jesus into their home. Martha busied herself with preparations, distractions of “good things” that pulled her away from the heart of the matter. Mary chose the better part—sitting at Jesus’ feet, listening, learning, being present. Jesus affirmed Mary’s choice, saying that it would not be taken away from her. This story isn’t just about hospitality but about what really fills and sustains the soul: knowing God.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Know your Father’s heart!

What would it look like in your daily life to “sit at your Father’s feet?” What if you started every morning in quiet conversation with Him? What if, instead of rushing straight into your agenda, you paused to ask, “Father, what do You want me to see today? What part of You do I need to trust more?”

Imagine releasing anxiety, frustration, even insecurity—all because you’ve acknowledged, “My Father knows me first. He holds my best interest in His heart. I am not alone.” When you know your Father’s heart, you carry peace into the middle of chaos. You let go of the compulsion to control and the fear that you have to figure it all out yourself.

God knew you before you took your first breath (Psalm 139:13-16). He knows the winding paths of your life, your deepest fears, your secret joys. He is not the distracted parent who only occasionally checks in; He is the constant, loving Shepherd who laid down His life for you because you mattered to Him first.

So today, ask yourself: How much of my life am I really living with my Father? How often do I come to Him and just know His heart? This is not a one-time decision—it’s a daily posture. It’s choosing Mary’s better part over Martha’s busyness. It’s keeping your eyes on God, not just in crisis, but in every breath.

When you practice knowing your Father’s heart, your life changes from frantic striving to peaceful abiding. It’s the place where strength is restored, burdens are lifted, and your soul is truly satisfied. So pause. Look up. Come home to the One who loves you more deeply than you could ever imagine.

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” (James 4:8)

Keeping your eyes on God isn’t optional—it’s everything.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
