Acts 17:24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.
Who is God? Where is God? What’s His role in heartbreak and in hope? I think these are questions we need to ask if we are to have a personal, intimate relationship with Christ. And I don’t think the answers are static and fixed. I think they change and evolve, just like we do.
Acts 17:25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
God gives life and breath and everything else. He is not far from any one of us. In Him we live and move and have our being. Everywhere. Always. He is never far from us.
Acts 17:27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
Lord, The language of these verses is beautiful, but we need more than beautiful language in difficult times. Help us to seek You, to know You, to trust You. Amen.
Acts 17:28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Have a blessed day.
