Acts 17:26-28 (NIV)
26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
28 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
The very fabric of our existence is God Himself, for in Him we live and move and have our being. Accepting or denying this understanding does not alter the reality of God. It does not change the truth of the matter, but it does affect how we live. All creation contains clues to His handiwork, all moments have within them the opportunity for seeing and knowing God.
The purpose of life here is that we might seek God. He is not far but may be too close to see. Reach out. You may find Him in those ordinary things around you, things you take for granted, or don’t usually see. He is not far.
