My Father knows

 "For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things." – Luke 12:30

This verse has always caught my attention. Not only because it reminds me of God's care and commands us to have right priorities, but also because I am encouraged by these three words: "your Father knows."

Your: Not theirs, not others', but yours.

Father: Not a stranger, not distant, but your Father – the one who takes care of you, protects you, and provides everything you need.

Knows: Not assuming, not thinking, not guessing, but knowing.

He knows everything; He knows the struggles I have, my desires, concerns, doubts, problems, and questions.

"My Father knows."

When questions, worries, and doubts arise in my heart, I have to remind myself that my Father knows them all.
